JSB 44.75 grain (4 tins sorted by weight)

this is about rite about 2 gr difference , I usually in winter sort my pellets and slugs , a case at a time , I found better accuracy , However many say 2 grs wont matter much with a pellet that weighs 44 gr , but weather they are a bit more accurate or I am a bit more confident , I still do it I do wash off first then lightly lube and repackage them , I make the prime ones I call match grade like all exactly 44.5 for these then I got like 43to 44 gr they are labeled light , and over 45 named heavy and the others are sorted by .2 grains so i get about 6 different sized tins , If I do say a case of ammo , but in the 30 cal I use 20 tins as they dont have 500 like the 22 cal or 350 for the 25 caliber ,
I still have alot of use for pellets but in the 30 caliber range slugs are about the same price , but I my self use slugs where I have alot of open space as they carry much further .
SO what is your reason for posting each weight to show difference or you sort like I said for constancy ?

I sort primarily to see what I have and to know there are no odd balls I'll grab. It's just part of being as precise as I can. I have shot strings sorted in .30 grain increments and found those strings consistent, so I sort them in .20 grain increments to allow for errors. It's just comforting to know when I grab a tin that they are all within .20 grains of each other instead of wondering if the flyer was a dud pellet weight. I haven't taken them any further yet with washing or sizing as they are clean already and have a slick finish of an oily wax feel. I may try and lube some to see if I get any different results. These pellets and the Impact are all new in just this week to me. I just thought I'd share my results for others to ponder as well.

So much better for me as well. The other one made my head spin with the tiny numbers and color spectrum.

You're welcome fellas. I view this on a 24 inch monitor, so it's easy for me to see. I never know how it looks for others, so I appreciate the input. I know if I click on the image it will expand full screen for me for better viewing on here. Happy sorting

Yea the UI on the original graphic is rough on the eyes, I have the same issues building my uis with overwhelming amounts of data. The second graph does a good job of consolidating all the data into a nice visual.
Seems JSB's heavier variety of pellets step away from QC, 2 grain difference (nearly 5%) is a bit outside what I would call acceptable, and likewise with 33.95's (I got 1.5 gr at nearly 5% as well) is equally unacceptable. It would be nice if they had a way to sort and keep all the weights within 2-3% gr of each other...but if it came at much cost, then I'd rather sort/weigh them myself as its quite a relaxing process anyhow.

I guess you and I are both detailed oriented type folks. The detailed spreadsheet really does give the finer details of the sort, but does take a little more time to weed through. If you look at the spreads without the four 43.xx included, you see a much better spread result. The sort is required to eliminate those though, and is why I sort them.

I concur. I personally sort into 2 groups, within 1.5% gr under, and within 1.5% gr over advertised, which at worse cuts my es down by half. The outliers I discard for tuning. When I sorted the 33.95's, I had 33.4-33.98 gr in one group and 33.99-34.5 in another.
