[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 26414, member: 12"] Used to believe that myself, but I have proven that after weighing into lots if you sort by length of bearing surface, groups will smaller. Not so much large difference with custom bullets like JLK and Berger, but a marked reduction in groups with Sierras. In fact, I have found the the sorting by length of bearing surface is more important than sorting by weight. Tried it both ways. Someone else may test and find different. Just heard other guys saying, sort by base to ogive. that makes no sense to me and just wondering what difference measuring something that touches nothing(case neck or barrel lands) has based on their testing.
