It would be interesting to see a 10 shot group at 35m with the selected pellets and then the same with the random plinking left overs. It may highlight that this is worth the pain
1 grain = 64.8mg = 0.002oz I agree that having all your projectiles weigh identical is important. But you have to also consider the fact that the rifle is not imparting the exact same pressure on every shot. So you have to wonder what weight spread is acceptable, and that's where your experience and how well you know your gun comes into play. I use H&N Baracuda Match cal .22. They're labeled 21.14gr but average is about 20.85 and the spread from lightest to heaviest is about .85gr I typically shoot at 35m and consistently hit 1.5 - 2cm groups with that .85gr variance.
Hello, nice video sir. Can you please tell that i am using RWS superdome 8.3 gn pellet. As I weight it some pellets are 8.3 gn exact and some are 8.2 gn in one tin. So my question is that point of impact of 8.3 gn and 8.2 gn is same or change ?
350 out of 500 for targets seemed high loss to plinking, so I tried a little different strategy. Giving your parameters of a one grain tolerance I sorted a tin, but this time had three batches, anything .4 grain in one anything .5 grain in another and a plinking batch. my thinking is that since when I target shoot the first 3-5 shoot are to check my centre, the slight difference in trajectory can be assessed and corrected when centering. This resulted in about 30ish plinkers and less than 5 too bent to resize. I tried a tin of .22 and found the weight difference per pellet higher and you could arguably widen your span to have an extra batch. This was mind bendingly numbing and I'm sure I phased into another reality once or twice but as I mostly shoot at targets I will add this to my routine, which is, 1. resize 2. wash 3. lube & 4 weigh. Just so I know that the pulled and flyers are down to me and being on a budget I get a higher return per tin. I need to lie down now, normal service will return shortly
@@tonyblack3401 perhaps but as at least some if not most of the lube stays on the pellet then weighing them dry would be at least as inaccurate if not more so.
The ones I buy seem to work just fine for the most part, but I am not a competition shooter with air rifles. The majority of my shots hit the target I was aiming at and some were pretty small. I just don't want to go down a rabbit hole of pellet weight insanity.
May be a silly question but is there a company that makes air rifle pellets that actually weigh what it says on the box? If not what company is the most consistent with pellet weights? I don't have the time or interest to weigh and sort each pellet that comes in a box, especially a box of 500.
I have never came across a company with completely consistent weight however in my opinion Hades and Exact pellets are usually have the least variety !!
Weighing pellets is nonsense. If you don't believe me prove it to yourself by doing it. The only advantage is a psychological one in a competition which it's worth. Washing n lubing them and checking the skirts before comps, yes, plus clean your barrel often, re zero before each comp then your sorted.
Considering if your in a competition even 0.01% more accurate you would do it. That's probably what your gaining by doing this on a perfect day. All depends how serious you want to take it wouldn't say its no sense just very very very small gains.

Great vid :p Breaks up the boredom when the missus sits there taking the piss and naming the pellets lol!!
Need to wash and dry them first ,the fun never stops!
good humour, I like it.got the same scales
It works great me as well! Thanks for posting.

What a labour. Well done for reporting the results. / Charlie
You weight after lubing?
@@tonyblack3401 I weigh after the lube 😄
@@MrGary061258 would that not give you an inaccurate weight as you're weighing lube?

What's the variation in your rifles f.p.s
Can get those scales on amazon for £12.99 :-)
Do it while your having a few drinks.
When you say 835........835 what ? I'm a Nubey ounces pounds what where is the descimal point ?
I've been told that anything above 10grains is bad for a springer .177 caliber. is that true????????
In my experience, that's a load of bollox.
