[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 642253, member: 5302"] When I and others can reload ammo with out-of-the-box Sierra HPMK's put right into the case full of powder and primer without any inspection or measurement whatsoever (except to place 'em in the case mouth pointy end up) and shoot 1/2 to 5/8 MOA 20 to 30 shot groups at 1000 yards, why sort bullets by any means? And why current benchrest aggregate records at 1000 yards are probably shot with bullets sorted by several tools, their groups aren't any better than what plain Sierra's will do. 1/2 to 5/8 MOA is the accuracy those record holding rifle's ammo shoots at 36,000 inches. And once in a great while, those rifles will shoot 5 of those sorted bullets into a group measuring an inch or two in spread and claim a few-shot record; just like out-of-the-box Sierra HPMK's will do. Did any of you bullet sorters ever consider that if you all faced due north when seating your bullets, they would more precisely leave the barrel in a line to the target and strike closer to each other on the target? May be worth trying. I heard of this some years ago but have never tried it. [/QUOTE]
