Now mind you, the kind of precision you are talking about there is really difficult to measure. You'll be needing one of those $5000.00 bench rest specials that weigh thirty pounds, have an electric trigger and have to be tethered to sixty pounds of air bottles. You'll have to have a one piece gun vice that cost $350.00 and a 100 yard *INDOOR* range as well. But if you've got all that AND you can shoot well enough, you should be able to measure exactly how much you have improved things.
Before you start, put that tin of pellets in a sock and go slap it on the sidewalk a couple dozen times to prep your pellets. That MIGHT give you a control group you will be able to work with. It will probably take a laser micrometer too. You won't need more than one tin of pellets to accomplish this feat. Just shoot four or five pages of those flies to establish your control group and then another four or five pages to prove your theory. It's really lucky your method simply separates the pellets into "GOOD" pellets and "BAD" pellets. You won't have to shoot more than a couple hundred pellets to prove your point.
I do have a couple of questions: 1) How does the texture of the bottom of the pie tin affect the sorting? 2) Does lubricating the tin improve accuracy? 3) Have you tried using your personal vibrator to the vibrate the pan instead of shaking it? Did that help?

I sort my pellets by pushing them down a 23" tube with a puff of air. The ones that land dead center on the aiming point are perfect in every way and the without question the best.

It can help allot if you pour a little honey over the pellets that look the sweetest just prior to to shaking. Always remember to weigh and do the Yrrah roll first that way after you do the shake sorting you will know for sure only the finest of them will still be standing. Load and shoot the pellets that are not still standing backwards for the best results with them.
When measuring pellets, with your calipers, it's always best to carefully place them face up on an anvil and give them a couple of taps with a four pound sledge so you are sure to have a couple of flat surfaces to measure from.

Yep...and those that dont hit dead center are bad pellets, never an issue with the shooter !! LOL....
