[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1520158"] I weighed measured, used a family friends hand made gauges and equipment, checked for out of round, spun them infront of a strobe camera..he had even built himself a paper chronograph and still used it up until his passing, even if the Oehlers were easier... used a template, normally designed for determining BC, but with a little hard work could do a whole lot more....and as far as I found..sorting by just weight netted me near the same result as all that time consuming indepth measurement... I wasn't shooting for money, where a .000000002 :) measurement meant the difference between first and fourth... It does mean buying a minimum 2500 tips at a time, though I like 5K better then sort them all by exact weight, no range like 180.2-180.4...then every time a loaded lot was shot up using the heaviest bullets first...I could grab the next lightest and usually didn't have to do much adjusting if any...but my number of non shooter induced fliers was reduced by a considerable amount. Was kind of surprised when a talking to LR shooters how few actually sorted their bullets or weighed casings. [/QUOTE]
