Do you weigh bullets? And what tolerance do you use?

[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1229747, member: 50867"] I know a lot of bench rest shooters who, with the objective of putting every fired round into the same hole, weigh and measure everything. Having come from that fraternity, I can tell you that unless you're shooting scores that are competitive with national championship matche results, don't waste your time. For example - all other factors being equal: A 7mm round weighing 180 grains and fired at about 2600 fps will, mathematically, score as little as .5 inches or less different at 1000 yards than the same bullet weighing 183 grains. Load 'em and shoot 'em. This is supposed to be fun. :) [/QUOTE]
