Meh, they're ok.

they were inexpensive and local. Two of my favorite things!

THEN I broke out all the scales and got after each one. That was an OCD mistake/frustration...... Ugh!

I have that information in a textbook too, quick calculation yields the gravitational constant at Belly's house has a percent error of 0.007181. That's pretty significant if you ask me...

Yea, I've read that BR shooters really weigh everything. I may try it eventually to see if it really affects accuracy, but I have a feeling, I'm still too much of a newb to long range shooting that it won't help me for at least a few years.

Wait, does the concentricity of the bullet change too?!

I haven't gotten into the volumetric weights of internal case capacities....yet.

concentricity might change, but with different weights, the balance of the spinning bullet about its axis PROBABLY is not close enough to keep the bullet on a target at distance....unless the target is the barn wall, and your distance is 'from inside the barn'.

That's making the assumption the barn doors are closed and the barn does not have any other missing pieces in its shell...

Well who wants to buy a CNC and start churning out some perfect bullets?! [pick-me]

Okay okay, I want to buy a CNC for a whole heck of a lot more than just making bullets. But maybe after this semester is over, because I have access to 5 full CNC's and 3 CNC Machining Stations (they just ask you to insert the next tool instead of auto-loading).

Did you realize your beam scale is probably setup for sea level? Granted, you're only 750ft above sea level so the variation in the scale due to gravity is less than 0.001 (gravity at 35k ft is 0.997 the actual value). But we're talking serious numbers here...

Oh please mess with the gravity in my gun room. From where you are. Right now.....

Didi just got a little burr in her paw on our afternoon walk. She was limping and whining for about two steps until she just sat in the sidewalk and started whining.

All is fixed now, but what a scary moment for the PWT's mascot dog!

DONE!

Now go trying getting consistent weight readings. [LOL]

I smell a challenge.

Careful belly, for what you ask for.
