I've read/watched all sorts of info re: sorting primers by weight but still have questions for you guys. Thanks for your help.
For LRPs what is the range of weight differences that you will use/shoot together for a F-Class 1K match?
I've attempted a couple of tests and can't achieve meaningful results. I weighed 200 Federal 210Ms, got a rough bell curve of distribution with the difference between the extremes being .24 grains. I shot those extremes expecting to see a noticeable difference in MV but didn't. Nothing notable on paper either.
So this leads me to consider several explanations and options:
1) The variance of the test batch is not great enough to matter (hence the first question).
2) The 284 cartridge (and capacity) is larger and so more variance is required to see a difference
3) Maybe I should sort out the really extreme outliers and not worry as much about smaller differences. If so, what weight difference would constitute an outlier?
Thanks
