How close in weight?

When shooting scored target competitions, how close in weight (+ or - how much) are all of your bullets?

+ or - .2gr. will all go in the same hole, unless influenced by an outside force.

Like wind switch at the time of trigger pull.
As evidenced by results in competition, Jeff is the Master. When Jeff speaks .................. better listen. Advice is good. 
+- .2 gr seems to give a total spread of .5 gr. I sort by .1gr and pack accordingly. When a box of 50 205.1gr bullets  is gone, the next up will be 205.2 gr and so on. I think (hope) I'm on the right track. To me, this says I need to pay more attention to "conditions" (like wind) since my bullet weight is really tight. So is my load, seating depth, case prep., etc.
FWIW - I've never shot a 250, yet I've seen Jeff do them 2 at a time - back to back. What's the deal? More range time needed. Lots of it. Wind. Mirage. Lots to think about. Or not?

Remember only proper practice results in progress.   

Improper practice only results in reinforcing bad habits and no progress.

Easily said, but hard to do.  I recommend having a seasoned and winning shooter as a coach with you when you practice if possible.
