This is cool. When looking to muzzle velocity, did you measure the diameter / weight / length of the bullets? It seems there could be some interesting effects there.
1. Interference with the rifle barrel
2. Interference with the shell casing (is there a measure of how tight a shell fits the bullet that changes the velocity / is more interference fit good?)
3. do slight variations in diameter or weight matter more?

Thank you! As I mentioned in the Next Steps section of the article, measuring the effects of bullet sorting by weight & length is definitely a topic for a future article.

Great work!
