Bullet weight variations

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I picked up a bag of 500 .30 144grn FMJ bullets for £10.....yes £10! about a year ago.

 

The accuracy from them was a bit average, about 2MOA at 100.

 

Now I have noticed quite a weight variation from 142 - 146 grains so I was considering sorting them by weight to see if that improved things any. What sort of weight ranges would you sort them into? Lots of 1 grain? i.e. 142-142.9, 143-143.9, etc. Or is that too fine?

 

 

Cheers

Cheers Spud,

 

Hmmm if it was 1 grain increments that would be a job I could cope with. I think for those fine increments I'll pass the job to my 7 yo daughter as a bit of a numeracy project :D

 

 

Cheers
