[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1148665, member: 50867"] Yes - to both questions. It might affect accuracy to some slight degree but, unless you're a one hole bench rest shooter, you probably will never notice it. There is no reason however why you can't sort your bullets if you are so inclined. But don't bother measuring physical length base to tip. Measure base to ogive. What there is out in front of the ogive is inconsequential. It's the bearing surface that makes the greatest difference. A lot of us, at one point or another in our reloading experiences, looked at every little detail; and were guilty of over thinking the results of our tests. I've had some shooters tell me that polishing the cases to a high gloss makes for greater accuracy. It doesn't. But if they feel good believing those things I don't say anything to burst their bubble. gun)- - - - - - - - - - (X) [/QUOTE]
