I didn't have much to do today, so I got out the electronic scale and weighed my JSBs to see how much difference they were in weight. After weighing 200, they went from 15.6 grn to 16.3 grn. As soon as the wind lets up on this mountain, I'm going to test different weight groups to see if it makes a difference in accuracy. I was surprised in how much the weight varied.

What will you be shooting it out of? I'm looking forward to your results, My gun loved JSB's, but I do have a scale so if I really wanted I could find out which weight it really really likes.

I have a Air Arms TX200 MKlll. I weighed my bullets when I shot my 6PPC bench rifle and it made a big difference in group size, so I thought it might make a difference in Air Rifle. My trouble is I can't get the wind to stop blowing on this mountain I live on.

I always have to laugh when I see JSB prints their weight on the tin as 15.89 grs. As if they can ever be that precise. Call it 15.9 or 16 and be done with it. Same with head sizes, they are never all that size.

In a few weeks I'll be back in my beautiful country (Texas) and I think I'll try the same thing, plus some. (not to be a one upper)
I bought the speedy pellet inspector, to check the skirts;

And the head sizer, so find the right fit;

And I have a nice little Hornady scale that's reliably accurate.
I remember once, a while back coming across this video where a dude washed, dried and lubed his pellets through this super long process and he made it seem as if he would never shoot a pellet he hadn't done that process with. After watching that I thought I should make a video where I do that, and go overboard weighing sizing and inspecting the pellets then shooting them, HOPEFULLY just to prove that it makes no major difference.
Figure it's a win win, if it does make a big difference then I'll find out through this process what I need to do for the most accuracy. If there is not much difference then I'll be quite happy.
I'll be trying all this out with my RWS Diana Model 54.
