I have read about some people that want to make the most accurate hand loads measure thier bullets.
How many of you do that? I tried it to see how it would turn out. I purchased a box of 100 Sierra .277 135 gr. SMK and I measured them using a comparitor on the ogive. This is how it turned out:

0.639 = 18
0.636 = 13
0.635 = 15
0.634 = 64
__________
total of 100

Do you think the difference in lenght would really make a difference in grouping out to say 400 yds?
Do you think this is a big waste of time? I have never done this before and am wanting to get the best results.

Thanks,
Mike
