    weighing cartridges


    Do you weigh your assembled cartridges? What tolerences do you expect/demand in smaller cartridges (22/250)? Thanks for your comments. Steve

    Re: weighing cartridges

    I've never weighed my loaded cartridges. I do weigh cases, powder charges and bullets for match loads. I don't think weight sorting primers has any effect on accuracy, but not having tried it, I really can't say for sure.

    Don't know how much difference it would make in a factory rifle but several years ago the Army shooting teams began to weigh their issue match ammunition and separate them by weight into lots. Seems their scores went up.
