[QUOTE="emn83, post: 688092, member: 41957"] So, my OCD kicked in a little today, and I pulled the box of Berger 155gr VLD I have, waiting for my rifle to return, and decided to measure the base to ogive on all 100 bullets in the box. Now I am unsure what to do, if anything with the data. The bullets ended up gaving a base to ogive length range of 0.004 inches, with 0.543 being the minimum, and 0.547 being the max. The lengths grouped like this: 0.543: 5 0.544: 30 0.545: 34 0.546: 20 0.547: 11 My calipers has a stated accuracy of +/- 0.0005, so there may be a slight variation at the extreme ends. So, my question is, what if anything, can I do with this new date? is it worth it to sort the bullets by base to ogive? Or have I simply found a way to entertain myself for about an hour? [/QUOTE]
