Browsing through some Handloader mags recently I read an article about loading 9mm. One of the comments about loading "range pickup brass" is that the author was getting about a 6" group with a favorite load. Looking at his brass he found the OAL of the brass varied. By sorting the brass into length groups he could cut the group size almost in half.
Last nite I measured about 100 range pickup brass and found it varied from .750 to < .740. Manuals call case length .754 but I never found any that long. I sorted them into 3 groups so all cases are within .003" of each other. I haven't loaded them yet. Its pretty frosty here & I'm not going to try finding empty cases in the snow.
