[QUOTE="gsperaz, post: 909058, member: 75069"] When I started weighing ammo, I just wanted to understand all the variables that could contribute to the accuracy issues I was experiencing. Shooting ammo of the same weight will not fix a Bmag shooting 3" groups at 50 yds. What it will do is help reduce those flyers we get when shooting and help determine accuracy issues. If your gun is already a good shooter, say 1/2" at 50yds then you can expect improvements by shooting ammo of the same weight. One thing to remember is that the powder charge is only one of the variable components, primer, cases and bullets all vary. In a nut shell it took a combination of stock work, bedding, barrel O-rings and ammo weighing to get my bmag to consistently shoot accurately. I can shoot .25"-.40" groups at 50yds every-time I shoot it. Not the case when I took it out of the box. And I still get an occasional flyer.....lol. but know its only 1" out instead of 3". I weighed a box of 50 Hornady HMR 17gr ammo and there was only a .6 grain variation for the box. I was surprised to see such consistency for rimfire ammo. Could be why my savage 93 BTVS shoots .75" at 100yds all day long. [/QUOTE]
