[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 35957, member: 376"] Jerry, I told the fellow I'd heard a similar method, basicaly keeping the shells that shot an 'X' (from an old score BR shooter) in one coveted pile. His response was that he felt the chrono method eliminated any human error factors. Still, it's interesting to see that others employ similar methods. The big thing that was daunting about his version (other than the extra barrel) was the *2000* pieces of Lapua brass he starts with. That's over $850 in brass _alone_!!! Yikes. But, as was mentioned, if winning is the goal... it apparently seems to help. I was kind of hoping to employ a variation w/ a couple of upcoming .308 Winchester projects. 500 pieces of brass dedicated to each gun, and velocity sort them into 'batches'. I didn't figure 500rds of test firing was too much of a chunk out of the respective lives of a .308, and probably would provide some much needed trigger time. Afterwards I hoped to sort the brass into say, 50rd batches, and keep them separated in the blue Dillon shell boxes. For the one rifle (long range prone - any-any/F-class/Palma), most all the shooting is for 'score' so keeping the shots consistent in velocity/elevation in one box would work just fine. Minor changes from one box to the next would be relatively easy to account for. For the other gun, which is more for hunting and/or tactical matches, going from one box to the next could be an issue. I don't really hunt LR all that much w/ a .308, so that part wouldn't be too big a deal, but for the matches having to know where the cold bore shot was going to go could be interesting, depending on which 'box' I'm using. Ah, well, it'll give me something else to worry about [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Thanks, Monte [/QUOTE]
