[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1308949, member: 42308"] I received 200 of the new(ish) 225g ELDM bullets yesterday from the dude in the brown truck. I started by randomly selecting 30 bullets (15 from each box of 100) and weighing them. I am not thrilled with what I am seeing. I was not believing what the scale was telling me so I set up my beam scale, re-calibrated my digital scale and double checked both with my check weight before I verified that my scales were bang on and verified my primary findings on all 30 samples. I then weighed all 200 and sorted them into .1g groups. Lightest bullet was 224.3g and the heaviest was 225.2g. The most fell between 224.4g and 224.6g with a total of 70 specimens in that range and no individual weight having more than 29 examples. I have not yet checked base to ogive measurements or diameters but I intend to check both at this point. Do I have a bad lot? Are these outliers? Both boxes came from Lot# 2170060 What are you seeing in yours? [/QUOTE]
