When reloading I know that some people weigh and sort each bullet, but how picky are you? I purchased a box of Remington 6.5mm 140g bullets and had fluctuations from 140.0g to 140.7g which seemed like a lot of variations. So, I sorted them into two groups; 160.0 to 160.3g and 160.4 to 160.7g. I figured since this was a plinking round that would be good enough.
Recently when I started reloading some Sierra 6.5mm 160g SP I weighed each bullet and no bullet weighed more than 160.3g. When you sort weigh and sort your bullets how precise are you? Do 160.0.g get put into a different box than 160.1g? And if so, how much of a difference does it really make? I'm mainly concerned about hunting applications, although I'd like my bullets as accurate as possible for that purpose. I'm not sure if it would be worth all the extra time to sort the bullets into tenths of a grain. But I would like to know how much a difference it can make in the end.
If my primary purpose is for hunting and then plinking, how picky should I get?
