[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 464611, member: 8"] Welcome to the world of quality control. You have found out why some companies have a reputation for precision bullets and some don't. Rather than think in terms of tenths of a grain, think in terms of percentages. A tenth of a grain for a 223 bullet may be more meaningful than for a 338 bullet. If it was me I would use 0.1% of total weight as a starting point for screening into batches. What most people believe to be more meaningful at long range is the uniformity of length of the bearing surface. Nonetheless as you found out, weight sorting gets rid of goofy bullets and is educational. [/QUOTE]
