Bullet Base-to-Ogive Sorting Tool from Sinclair Aids Accuracy
Sinclair International offers a handy tool assembly that lets you sort bullets by base to ogive length. Yes you can do this with a comparator tool attached to calipers, but the Sinclair tool really speed up the process when you’re sorting large quantities of bullets.
The $79.99 Sinclair Bullet Sorting Stand with Dial Indicator (item 749-011-469WS) comes with a heavy black granite base that stays put on your loading bench. The included analog dial indicator has a quick-release lever allowing easy placement and removal of bullets into the comparator. This lever allow the spring-loaded indicator shaft to pop up out of the way.
In the video below, Sinclair shows how to use the Bullet Sorting device. Sinclair recommend sorting in batches with variance no greater than .005 (five-thousandths) in base-to-ogive length. We like to hold tolerances even tighter, trying to hold spreads to .003. The special base comparators used with this tool are offered for $10.99 in .22 caliber, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, .30 caliber, and .338 caliber. The sorting stand can also be used with Sinclair’s handy multi-caliber hex-style comparators (items 749-002-942WS, or 748-002-833WS, $19.99).

Nice Tool
It makes sorting fast and easy.
I like mine.
Sinclair claims + or – 0.001″ accuracy from the digital gage vendor. It’s pretty good. Not sure that accurate but good enough I guess. Found that using the HEX nut comparator tool works better/faster than the big slug type they sell as an accessory. Sorting tip…get 8 little ziploc 2″ cube storage containers, $4. label 1 to 8 or 2 to 9, whatever. Sort your bullets by the 3 decimal point, 0.00X” and drop them in the bin with the corresponding number. IF your bullets need sorting by the 2nd decimal point and the 3rd, change your brand of bullet. This method with hex nut and the 1 digit bins is fast and easy. Cheers!
