Moving to the next level in my reloading

Ok, sorting bullets. Just got me a 500 box of sierra 142's and was thinking...Hey I can sort these. Problem being I never did that in my reloading experience.

So, fear of sounding like a Long Range reloading ding bat. What process do you use to sort your bullets. I can check Ogive with my stoney point...IF thats OK? Weight not an issue I can check it with my new RCBS scales.

What else?

Thanks in advance

And if that don't work just throw out the ugly ones!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yup, he's my son currently in the USMC. He just got back from his seconed tour in Iraq. He's in Sunny Ca. right now but will be home in a week for a 3 week visit. Him as well as my youngest will be in PA for the weekend of the 18th for the shoot and hopefully some live hoggin.

Oh..Ok got it. Do you not weigh them at all and sort by weight? If not...Cool

I do a sample test on them of ten paercent in your case would be 50 and if they vary more than say .2 grains then I weigh them all and most of the time I end up weighing them all!
Glad top see him here!
We thank him for his services!
