[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 246858, member: 6536"] I saw you said they were Accubonds. I live in Or and business takes me to bend quite often and while there I stop by the Shooters Pro Shop at Nosler. I usally by the seconds for shooting (they have over runs of first for winchester quite often. Different color tips (red)). I was getting unexplained vertical at 600 yrds so I started measuring the bullets Base to Ogive with a stoney point comparater. I found them to vary wildely even within lots! I now sperate them by weight and base to ogive. You can pick up seconds for $13.25 per 50 for 160 7mm AB. This allows me to be selective with weight and measurement. When this came up i talked with the old guy that worked in the store. He was a long range guy and he was supprised by the variance and was heading home to measure his..He was getting vertical problems as well. What i found is there tolerances are based of hunting situations not Benchrest. The average guy would never know the difference. Another side note. When you buy Nosler brass. They say its weight sorted which it is but not weight sorted between lots. Its weight sorted PER BOX. So if you want a 100 peices you take the risk of the two boxes being different weights.
