[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 224307, member: 2736"] Esshup; Most will agree that it doesen't make much difference at normal ranges, but at long range it can have an effect. The best way to see the difference is with a chronograph but you have to know when the light bullet is fired and when the heavy one is used. It is a small % but could make a difference, It normaly works out to be a % of bullet weight to % of velocity.(Example) A 200gr bullet that weighs 201gr would slow velocity by about 1/2 of a % with every thing else being equal. If I were trying to shoot the best group or shoot very long range with a rifle I would weight sort the bullets,the brass,and weigh each powder charge to the exact sameweight.But for most hunting 400yrds and under It wont make that much difference.
