[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 408906, member: 10540"] if you want to sort bullets, sort by bearing surface not weight. The bearing surface affects pressure buildup inside the barrel (more surface, more pressure, more velocity). It goes pretty quick with a sorting tray and calipers with two comparators, attached closely to the base of the caliper blades. After about 200 measurements I decided to quit sorting lapua 139 scenars. There was no variation to 3 places I recently sorted couple boxes of swift scirrocos (150gr .284 and 130gr .264). On the 130's, 97 of 100 were within .001 and on the 150's, 97 of 100 were within .002. That is very good, I think I won't sort any more scirrocco's either. [/QUOTE]
