I had a rifle go to hell a few years ago and started shooting like a shotgun.
I had just bought 2 boxes of Remington golden ammo in the 500 +- .
They were so bad when i got home i checked the rifle/scope and they were fine.
Didn't have much going that day so i brought my scales to the house and sorted them.
I had 3 weights light,normal and heavy.
The next day i shot them sorted into weights and the rifle and ammo went back to shooting tight groups like before.
Don't know what their problem was at that plant but they were screwed up.
I have not done it since but it was eye opening for sure.
That is remington ammo and it is garbage. Most guys know, or should know that. The op was asking about CCI SV, I believe. The effort of sorting that ammo is wasted, as it's generally pretty good for standard/non match grade ammo. Now, if shooting competitions, some guys will sort by rim thickness, but that is because that affects headspace. Nothing more, nothing less. Buy decent ammo and shoot it through a good rifle and you shouldn't need to weight sort your ammo. We've all seen crap ammo that isn't good for much except for plinking at cans, but CCI SV is a little better than that. Picking/sorting the good from the bad may be a crap shoot at best.
