[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 684601, member: 10"] In my testing, sorting bullets into lots with baring surface lengths no more then 0.0005" (thats 1/2 of a thou), you will see groups at 1000 yards cut by 1/3 in vertical stringing. At 1500 yards, it can be by as much as 1/2 less and at 2000 yards it can be dramatically more even yet. Now sorting to this very small window of variation may not be needed for your needs. In most cases if you can sort bullets within 1 thou of each other it will make a difference for sure. Now this just effects the vertical stringing. I am not saying you have a problem with your load or rifle, you just fired one group. The next one may be nice and round shaped. Remember I said I was being picky but its one of the many things that you can do to tighten up your long range groups that actually works and shows results. [/QUOTE]
