[QUOTE="TK50, post: 1186980, member: 14088"] Tod is right with many of the points he brought up in his post. I am a 1000Yard BR competitor also. It all depends on how much prep work you want to get into with your loads. Are you planning to shoot competitively with them or are you looking to load the best hunting ammo you can? The most accurate way to sort bullets is to sort them by ogive to pressure ring length which is like Tod said essentially bearing surface. There are not many tools that measure bullets that way most measure from base to ogive length. One other thing you didn't mention was the state of your brass. Is the brass fired many times or is it just fire formed? Have you been annealing your brass? Brass that has been fired a number of times can have varying degrees of neck tension which will lead to spring back on the bullets and can also give you the problems you are having. [/QUOTE]
