Bullet weight, even from high-quality factory loads, will have some variance (a surprising amount, actually). That's why the Benchrest folks weigh out each bullet on their $1,000 scales and separate them out by weight so each batch will have the exact same weight bullet. I know, I know, my OCD is showing, but while 1 to 3 grains of weight on a 130 grain bullet isn't going to amount to much, even .1 to .3 grains of powder in a high-pressure handgun round will have an impact on the velocity. In my sport, I live and die by the chronograph so I can't have any bullets running too slow. On the flip side, I don't want to fight more recoil than necessary to qualify. I'm looking for low extreme spread.
