Guys, I figured that competitions are, quite frequently, about accuracy... so you would be the ones to ask. If this isn't the right place, Moderators please move the thread to where you consider the best subforum.
I am looking at different types of soft point hunting ammo and seeing that many of the tips are deformed, asymmetrical, gashed, etc.. I prefer to see a uniform and unmarred tip, but that is getting into more than I need (all copper bullets, nosler partition ballistic tips, etc) for what I will be using the ammo for.
I am unsure of the accuracy of the firearm (cva optima elite in .308 win) and would strongly consider using the marred bullets if it won't affect accuracy that much at 100y. If it can throw my round off by .2 MOA, then I will look into better bullets, but is it really necessary? I just don't want to use a bullet that will throw my groupings until I have a clue what the gun itself can do. I prefer to test fire using the most accurate bullets I can, but I don't see a need for match grade since this rifle won't be shooting matches.
Will the slight but obvious imperfections be seriously detrimental to accuracy out to a range of about 300y (I won't take shots further in the field due to limitations on my skills)?
