not you to big g!!! wieght sorting does help alot on bulk packed crappy ammo, but stuff like this i don't think you'll see much difference. if you do from what i have done and tested it will be the lightest ones that will give you the best performance. at least that is what happened when i tried this out. now i just buy better ammo.
i played chase at the range the other day with john and bill. my learning is coming along alot better than i figured it would. those windflags are the way to go. we noticed mine would be showing wind when bills weren't!!!! you guys having a match this saturday?

hey for $20 each stands and all you just can't beat them. there is a sick out planned for this weekend so i know i could have made it(just my luck:()!! bill and john call me everytime they go to the range so i go and practice with them. there is many years of shooting to learn from bill. man can he shoot!!! we each shot at the same targets to see who could do the best the most. bill got most of them, john did very well, and every now and then this blind hog found the slop!!!! it's alot of fun cutting up with them.

weight is one sort, rim thickness is as important in sorting, I don't see any posts on here about sorting by rim thickness or swaging bullets to same diameter, but those two steps will make all the difference in accuracy.
I imagine they ahve new rim gauges that run on lasers now but I still have my old one from when my buddy and I were Olympic Biathalon contenders, neither of us took any medals but did learn to shoot better than most. And we both went on to sniper qualifications in the service, any rate, it begins with same lot ammo, sorted by weight and rim thickness, consistency as you know being one of the things that will take a thousandth off your group.
