I just got a year older, and in celebration my lovely bride got me an electronic reloading scale. Prior to that I had a beam scale that maxed out at 110 grains. I piddled around weighing stuff this afternoon. I never saw more than 2/10 of a grain in variation in bullets, and that was with 240 grain .429 A-Frames. I measured some of my loaded ammo and some factory ammo. My loaded 6.5 Creedmoor ammo was more consistent than factory Hornady stuff. The least consistent component I encountered was new nickel Remington 257 brass. I saw fluctuations by as much as 4 grains.
Since this is all new to me, I don't know how to interpret it. Now that I have finished this post, I am not sure my reason for posting. I guess it was just interesting to me.
