[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1413270, member: 78569"] I have also found that most main stream bullets and manufacturers do not have the same level of tolerance that Berger bullets do. The LRAB that I've worked with are no exception. I could not get them to shoot well enough in my guns to warrant continued efforts. I think there are some recent forum conversations about how the Hornady Eld-x's vary as well. One can't compare the consistent weight of one shaped bullet to the 0.16 SD of a different shaped bullet in terms of accuracy. Apples and oranges. To find out, you would need to sort your bullets. Take the 20% that are good and test with a combined batch of highs and lows. You may see a difference you may not. Benchrest folk sort bullets. Youtube has a couple videos of people testing this.
