I agree with Junior, but I'd add that weighing bullets is a lot more important for .30 cal and under than for bigger stuff.

Once you get to .375, almost anything that can be seated in the neck will perform better than you might expect. OK, I'm exaggerating, but not by that much! Bigger bullets are not only easier to cast, but are easier to get to shoot reasonably well.

Of course, my perspective for adequate cast loads is MOCC (minute of Coke can) at 85 yards.

I've done a bunch of .22 cast weighing and some for long range 38/55 shooting. All bullets were weighed after sizing and lubing.

It does make a difference if you have the time, patience and a set of electronic scales.

Easy way is to pick up a bunch of the 100 round plastic .22 trays at the range. Label in .1 grain increments and have an "all others" at the high and low end for the real far out stuff. Wighing about ten will give you a mid point to start with for labeling your trays.

I did a batch of about 500 at once. I stored them in sorted batches. By this method, you can always use one .1 grain lot and then when that runs out, combine two lots for a .2 variance.

The 38/55s were done in .2 grain increments.

As I said, it pays to do it if you have the time and patience./beagle
