The first one I put on the scale weighed 88 grains!! A full grain off!! So I continued weighing them and not one was 87grs...or even close...they were all between 87.6 and 88. Not really a big deal to me, since its only for fireforming, but I would've hoped they would be a little better then that!!
Anyone else run into that?
So all the bullets were within a 0.4 grain spread? That's not too bad. They might not precisely match the advertised weight on the box, but they are fairly consistent, which is the most important thing for accuracy. I'd shoot them before you make your final judgement.
