[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 677132, member: 5302"] Sorting cases to a 2% spread in weight's fine for use up through 300 to 400 yards. Beyond that, sort 'em to a 1% weight spread. The spread in primer output and exact charge weights' powder burning causes a larger spread in pressure and velocity than a 1 or 2 percent difference in case weight. But you need the right combination of powder and primer to make that happen. For accuracy, milder primers tend to perform better than hot ones. And medium speed powders for the case size tend to do better. When one loads for highest velocity for a given bullet, they typically end up giving up some accuracy to win the race to the target.
