[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 647577, member: 24624"] We can debate which dimensions/measurements are significant. But, I can assure you there is meaningful variation between bullets in any box of 500. Bullet sorting by weight, length from base to ogive, etc is well worthwhile for long range precision. I don't have the equipment to spin the bullets to check for balance as BartB described. But, it makes sense conceptually. One reason flat base bullets are preferred for short range benchrest is that they are easier to make consistent (hence, more accurate) due to fewer complex angles. As distance increases beyond 200 yds, the better BC becomes more meaningful than any loss of precision manufacturing the bullets. -- richard [/QUOTE]
