    It makes me upset that boolit makers can't make boooolits that weight the same. I saw up to 4 grains of difference in one box!!! Argh!

    heres a video:

    I hear ya belly, those mass produced bullets need to be precisely the same weight plus or minus 0.01 grains.

    Ignore what was here, I decided to watch the video...

    Is it time for you to start weighing every single component when you reload? Or do you still think you'd get that ES spread because it might be due ot crimp?

    Belly. That's not surprising and you're a demanding whore. You're talking about a maximum 2.5% deviation on a few statistical outliers. Most of them fall within 0.02% of the designated mass and that is most likely explained by YOUR scale being off. I want to see the histogram. I bet it's a near perfect bell curve with only a few 0.1 g deviation at the min and max confidence intervals.

    Oh and just take that batch you have that's within 0.02% and shoot those in your match!

    And what he should do is start sorting his bullets by weight in a little fishing tackle box (the kind you can get at walmart for $5 that has 16-24 separate compartments). Then, develop powder loads for each bullet weight...

    Belly,
    If you want to send me all those off-weight bullets, I'll pay the postage. Just so you don't have them sitting on your bench, pissing you off...
