 Now How Anal Is That???
Now How Anal Is That???
I just loaded ten deer hunting loads for my 300Win mag 165gr HPBT, 74grs IMR4350, Rem brass, 250CCI primers. I weighted everything but the primers - I weighed the bullets, brass and powder. The average weight of the ten rounds was 481.26grs the extreme for the 10 rounds was .9grs - Highest weight being 481.6grs and lowest being 480.7grs Now if your throw out the top and lowest weight the average was 481.2875grs. If you subtract the two averages you get .0275grs. In other words, I have just about perfection when it comes to the weight of my loads.
I will start a reloading session with 50 pieces of brass (same brand). Once they are cleaned, de-primed, primer pocket cleaned and reamed and the flash hole uniformed and the case trimmed to length, I weight them. I select the group that has the most pieces of brass with identical weights and continue the process with the bullets. I weigh each of them and choose the largest batch of identical weights. I then reweigh the powder charge. I do nothing with the primers. They are what they are, nothing I can go about them. Once I have them all assembled the weights are typically and for the most part identical. That is why my Std. Dev. is typically 4 - 7fps out of my 300Win Mag. Now that is Anal ! LOL
