First I just want to set the record straight, I had NO idea that inconsistant bullet weights were possible, especially from MAJOR MANUFACTURES!!!!:barf: I just weighed a half box of 7mm Rem Mag Ballistic Tips from Nosler,(i already loaded the other half) and what I found was this 1. One bullet weighed as advertised. 2. 24 weighed between 150.1 and 150.2 grns!! No big deal right???? I then grabbed a Brand New box of 150 partitions in the same caliber,and guess what ,1. ONLY ONE BULLET WEIGHED EXACTLY 150 grns( i kicked my dog upside down) 2. I found that the other 49 bullets weighed somewhere between 150.1 and 150.8,,,,, AND 35 WEIGHED OVER 150.5 GRNS MAKING THAT (after rounding to the nearest ten),,,,,,, 151 grn bullets!!!!!!!!! That has to be the weakest link in Handloading accuracy!! Could this inconsistancy play a huge role in the accuracy of ones loads after all!?? Anybody else feel like adding 2 cents feel free!!!
