[QUOTE="rufous, post: 2202, member: 122"] Thanks for the help Darryl. However, as is usually the case, it raises more questions. As mentioned I had 5 shots in about 2.75" of vertical and the 6th shot was 7" lower than the lowest of the 5. All were shot on the same surface (hard packed earth). I would tend to think that if the problem were the bipod then the 6 shots would be more evenly distributed vertically. I do not want to waste my time or money trying this Juenke machine but I know a gunsmith who will test the bullets and segregate them for 10 cents per bullet so may give it a try on a couple boxes. It supposedly reduces fliers. Are you saying that a load that shoots 0.5" groups with bullets that measure less than 5 on the Juenke machine would shoot 0.7" groups instead of 2" groups with bullets that measure 50 on the Juenke machine or what? That is something that I would really like to know- how much of a difference would it make to shoot a group with bullets measuring less than 5 versus bullets that measure 15 or 20 or whatever?
