Well since it's a french word, pronouncing it wrong is the correct way to say it. Meeplat, mehplat, meeplah, i say meeplat. My buddy says meeplate. Nobody pronounces it right.I never discuss meplat because I'm never sure how to pronounce it.
Indeed.I never discuss meplat because I'm never sure how to pronounce it.
Glad I'm not the only one. I call it Mee PlatI never discuss meplat because I'm never sure how to pronounce it.
Here's the tool I was talking about. I don't think it's still available. It was called the Hanes SGB. Like I said, I can't remember if it improved accuracy like they advertised although I know my groups were not impacted, but the squirrels sure hated them. While I never hunted anything larger than squirrels, I'm sure they would be more effective on game larger than squirrels, eg woodchucks, foxes.

If you can counterbore for the rim, great - if not, set it in a piece of wood. File away. Lead is easy to file.
