The post whore thread.

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...

I know a few BR shooters that do it. Some even weight primers. The discrepancy of bullet weight AND bullet OAL, is what got me out of the game, the first time.

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.

I play law of averages here.

when four different scales, one of them being a beam scale (can't screw with gravity), all say the same thing.... I think it's not my equipment.

I was kidding.

Speaking of gravity, we have bronze USGS marker plates permanently emplaced in the ground at work that show the exact gravitational constant at those locations.

I have also noticed quite a few weight differences in Barnes. I think it's the no lead part. Copper to me seems to heavy one time and light the next. But they all go down range. I wouldn't recommend Barnes for competition shooting. But I do use them for hunting. Dead animals always prove they work.

BTW Didi is adorable !!! I checked out some of your other video's on YouTube.

You mean the bullet OAL might be different too?!



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?!

Actually, I can screw with gravity and screw with it quite easily.

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...

Damnit, bogie beat me to the snarky comment about the gravity constant changing with altitude.

I lost the link to my library's digital collection. Now I have to find a needle In a haystack.

BTW, how do you like those Barnes boolits?

Meh, they're ok.

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