Anybody out their who shoots FT or another type of competitive discipline and sizes their pellets? I was reading about some of the variances in pellets considered the best such as JSB, and was thinking that sizing may be the solution to head diameter imperfections. Does sizing provide good improved results? If so, were would I purchase a good sizing device? Thanks in advance for any input.

I used to measure head diameter, weigh my pellets, then wash with mineral spirits and relube with KryTech. I found I wasn't getting that much more accuracy than if I just used a premium grade of pellet (Vogel, RWS, H&N and JSB). If I were shooting strictly benchrest competition out to 50 meters I might take the time to measure, weigh, and relube.

A problem with sizing is you will size down an oversized pellet (relative to the sizing die), but you won't do anything for an undersized pellet. And you may not know that it is undersized, unless it is so undersized that it drops right through the sizing die w/o being pushed through.
Beaman stopped selling pellet sizers a long time ago. So you have to look on the used market to find pellet sizers.
