Brian Litz actually stated that it wasnt something that he does because the variance in shot patterns isnt worth chasing. He has tested it extensively in many calibers and brands. 99.99% of the shooters out there wont see any difference in what they are doing. The biggest thing a shooter and reloader can do is chase a more accurate powder charge.
I experienced an improvement in my groups after weighing my bullets. Was already weighing every powder drop and setting OAL with Redding Micrometer Seating Die.
In fact some competition shooters weigh each piece of brass and do a run-out check on each piece of brass / bullet. Just depends how much one is willing to do to gain every bit of consistency possible in each load.
I have a good friend who shoots with a 4 man team that shoots 1000 yards and he tells me all these things mentioned can make a difference between winning and losing a match. Some folks are not willing to go to that extreme.
