Thread: Bullet weight sorting

Using cheap electronic scales (anything less than $ 1000) for sorting projectiles is a waste of time.

Have a look at the differences between a force restoration balance and a strain gauge type scale...

I have a little experiment for you.

Go ahead and weigh your projectiles. Label some bags carefully, and store the projectiles in them.

Come back an hour, or a day or a week later and weigh them again. See how much consistency you get...

Litz (Applied Ballistics) has done quite a bit of research on factors affecting accuracy, and you are better off:

1) buying projectiles that come from a manufacturer that has better quality control i.e. Berger
2) if you have the time and patience to sort projectiles, do it by bearing surface length.
