The skirt
: and is it worthwhile?
Depends on the quality control of the pellet manufacturer. If the sizes are all over, then some consistancy from the pellet sizer
can't hurt.
It's probably not the problem it used to be. Most pellets are now constructed to tighter tolerances.

I makes a difference with some pistols and
some pellets. Sizing 4.50 pellets with the
Nygord sizer made a minor improvement in
accuracy in my FWB M2. Other shooters I knew
saw no difference. I ended up getting my best
accuracy with H&N Final Match 4.49mm unsized.
I think you can do more for accuracy by
experimenting with the match-grade brands and
pellet diameters than by sizing.
