Bullet weight ????
Just wondering how big of a weight span does everyone use when
sorting out your bullets. I try to keep mine with in .5 of a grain. Just curious to what everyone else does.

1 grain, I have found that bullet weight is not as important as powder weight.

RE: Bullet weight ????
Thanks guys. I was just wondering how fussy people were with it.. If my casting is close I usually try to keep them within
two tenth's also.. If I am getting lazy and tired of casting, I'll put them in four tenth lots... Thanks again.. Mark

I was sighting in on your buffalo and had a box with me that was a couple
grains heavier than the ones I was going to shoot. They were still hitting.
Dad couldn't tell where. So I don't dispute what you think. I was wondering if
it is more of a confidence builder than anything else.. In the long run, I think
it comes down to the nut pulling the trigger..

I think a lot of the stuff we do are confidence builders and there is a lot of luck , like if the wind happens to gust at the same time you pull the trigger.
