Trimming and pointing for short range benchrest?

I may have asked this before, but has anyone tried trimming and pointing short range Benchrest bullets? What were your results?

We had a fellow try it last year. He went home in a panic before a big match to get his regular bullets. The modified bullets did not shoot well at all. Maybe it is advised for long range shooting, but not for short range shooting.
I think all he did was the pointing part, not the meplat trimming if that is what your referring to.

Dosn't Ferris Pindell make a die that reduces previously pointed BR bullet meplats to "el zilchereno" ? Has anybody shot these amended bullets ? Gerry, can you help us out here--- ?

In all the reading I've done on the subject and believe me I've done allot of reading, I can say that the general consensus is you will not realize any change in poi, group size, etc..... at short range. Long range, 600+ yards is where you may begin to recognize any difference when pointing and uniforming meplats but more likely at 1k.
