[QUOTE="pdq5oh, post: 1376407, member: 69910"] I used to do that and sort bullets by measurment of base to ogive. I quit doing it because l didn't see any real advantage given my needs. I use the Hornady 147 ELDs in my 260 and find them to be very consistent bullet to bullet. I do measure a few when l open a new box with a different lot number. Barrelnut. I really have no way to measure bearing surface accurately. I can't imagine there would be enough variation bullet to bullet to be an issue. I actually have loads that shoot smaller groups at 100 and 200 yds than the ELDs. But at 1000 yds and out the ELDs work better. I think due to the higher BC and heavier weight they retain more velocity and fight the wind better. [/QUOTE]
