[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 1413798, member: 20769"] UPDATE: I just called and spoke with Nosler technical support. Their tolerances are +/- .3 of a grain. Out of the 50 bullets I checked only three were out of those specs. I had 2 at 141.6 grains and 1 at 141.5. The gentelman offered to send me three bullets which I declined but it still does raise the question, if they have a maximum allowable variance of .3 of a grain, WHY did I get three out of 50, which means 6%, out of their maximum specifications for variance? I plan to go back to the range this weekend if the winds lay down and attempt to shoot groups with simialr weighted rounds so see if the inaccuracy was me, or the variance in bullet mass. I will aslo bring my cleaning supplies and loaded rounds with Amax and Bergers for this test. [/QUOTE]
