[QUOTE="abinok, post: 63211, member: 16"] I gave some thought to measuring oal, but to me, it seems like point variations would mask any other variations. When I can sort bearing length to .001, and oal can vary .030, it seems kinda pointless. maybe Ill have to go to the meplat uniformers like Tooley and others are making... or maybe if I sourted for oal, then bearing length, then base to ogive after sorting for weight. I think that testing the variables one by one would be almost impossible at 1000 or more yds, maybe if I get a new barrel, a couple thousand bullets, a few pounds of powder, and about 6mos of stable air....and now my head hurts... I keep wondering how much this sorting effects internal ballistics, and how much of it is external (bc variation). Anybody tried to document ES reduction with sorted bullets? So many choices... I fear many hours at the reloading bench are ahead [/QUOTE]
