Worth its money (02/12/2010)

Bought this Sorting Stand a few weeks ago hoping it would make my life easier,well it DID !!!!. i sorted 2000 rounds of .308 projectiles in 2 afternoons. After using it for a while just to get the feeling, i found that tapping the projectile into the comparator only with the weight of my index finger it was giving accurate and reliable readings. Sorting my Projectiles gave me evidence that even Match ammo has a difference !!!
I would recommend this instrument to everyone who wants that little bit more accuracy out of their handloads.

Almost, but not quite (24/03/2011)

I am coming from two Stoney comparators on a digital caliper and thought this unit would speed things up.

Nice marble block and micrometer, different holders for different calibers. But... The measurement is from the bottom of the boattail to the ogive, not just bearing surface. The flat micrometer insert is not flat and gives different readings at 3/6/9/12 o'clock positions, plus the bullet holders do not really keep the bullet centered.

Nice toy, but I am sticking with my two Stoney comparators on my calipers.

May have found my flyer's (06/08/2015)

Just got done with a ruff sorting of approximately 300 Berger 185gn Juggernauts. about 130 measured .580 to .584 base to ogive ; 60 at .578 to .5795; 3 at .565 and one at .550. now I can adjust my bullet seating and get a better Cartridge Base To Ogive (CBTO)#

too much drift (13/02/2016)

I was shorting some bullets BTO I was getting a reading of .642 to .646 inches.Then the phone ring and I go answer the call I come back 10 minutes later now they measure .654 to .658. I check the bullets I had measured before the phone call and they all were in the .65's now.

Great tool for accuracy (14/03/2017)

If they read and edit these hopefully this review will get published and my previous one deleted. After living with this thing for a year and using it on and off, I finally figured out how to make it work for me. I have the slug type caliber blocks but the HEX nut comparator actually works better for me. Get some sorting bins, at least 8. Number from 2 to 8 or whatever. Start gaging bullets and pay attention to just the 3rd digit after the decimal and drop into the corresponding bins. You will have bullets sorted to approximately 0.001". The gage has a stated accuracy of plus or minus same. So if you have a #5 bin full of bullets, based on the gage accuracy you should actually be between 0.XX4" and 0.XX6". That's as good as this setup will get you. Cheers!

Lowered my Std Deviation (03/11/2017)

This is a really nice tool that is well-built. The marble block is heavy and the tool is quick & easy to set up. I measure base to ogive & sort into groups. Bullets aren't perfect, so when you push them gently into this comparator, they will deform slightly, and you may get different readings - depending on how hard you push the bullets into the comparator. Also, (most importantly) the base of most bullets are not flat - they are usually slightly concave (dish shaped) and you will get different readings, depending there the gauge contacts the base. Neither inaccuracies are the fault of this comparator - they are just part of the inconsistencies of bullet making. Most of the bullet length variance seems to be in the nose length & shape of the meplat (tip). I try to adjust seating depth so that a consistent amount of bullet base is going into the case. I ignore the overall loaded cartridge length. I have been getting lots of sub-6fps standard deviations when doing load testing with this method. Now, if I could just get a nice bullet seater that indexes off the ogive, rather than near the tip or half-way down the nose.

A pleasure to own (09/02/2011)

Another quality tool that sits with pride on the reloading bench.
So fast to batch ammo/projectiles for those looking for extreme accuracy.
How anyone could do without this is beyond me...
A box of 500 projectiles can easily be measured in a single hour...without this tool...many just do not bother to batch them and miss out on that precission edge over their fellow competitors.

very useful tool to enhance accuracy (13/04/2011)

Even custom Becnhrest bullets made by dedicated craftsmen show some variation in the distance between the base and a reference ring on the ogive of the bullet , close to where it will contact the lands and start its trip down the rifling : you want to be absolutely sure all your bullets have this same critical dimension . This tool is very quick to use . The dial could be angled backwards for better readability on the desk , and te end of the finger could have a flat head option because most bullets show a significant concavity of their base so the needle moves a couple of mils from side to center . Optional profiles for the comparator cylinder in the same diameter in the competitive calibers could help achieve a more regular fit with some particular bullet profiles .

Bullet Sorting Stand (13/12/2013)

An excellent and well made tool that's a good value. Easy and fast to use, I would recommend the dial indicator over the digital type. Also the bullet (stand) comparator is easier and more stable to use then the Hex Comparator (I have used both). I was supprised to find out how much variation there was between even match grade bullets. If you are a percision shooter, it will improve your handloads.

works great (27/06/2016)

This tool has speeded up sorting bullets with a sinclair bullet comparator nut, for me. I really like the indicator lever located on top of the dial to release the pressure on the bullet. it With the dial indicator I do not have a static electricity problem. It's fast and repeats

Very poor quality control (11/02/2015)

Hole is off center and burred at bottom so the comparator rocks on a flat surface. So basically it is useless. Very poor quality control
