JSB MKIIs 300 count sorted and recorded by weight.

Ever thought of selling those match worthy ammo? Can I send you some tins to weigh may be 50 tins or so? Yo!

Yo, yes I have for about a second and a half. I would be happy to sort your pellets for you. I'll need 10 years to do so though, plus $100 per tin.

So that's a yes? LoL

No, It's a big ol' NO, and wouldn't wish this on anyone else. I didn't mind sorting my cast slugs...That was kinda fun, but these smaller projectiles are a different animal. Forget sorting below the MKII size projectiles. I am not going there. Lol

This is five tins of 300 count JSB MKIIs combined. A little easier to view instead of multiple charts trying to compare. This will eventually become 8 tins combined for a better view of the tins overall.

You can see in the Master list and the Main sort list all weighed pellets including the 4 odd balls with a total spread of 2.66 grains. The left row shows all weights that came in below 34.00 grains, and on the right the ones above 34.00 grains and their spreads with the 4 odd balls removed.

The counts are also noted in 0.20 grain increments for both base weights. On the 34 grain and above, there are 384 from 34.00 to 34.20, nice. Also, 298 at 34.21 to 34.42, another nice, and so forth. The extra heavies, or lights will be used to play with, while the bigger counts will be used to tune and shoot with.

I plan to check my zero when changing to a different weight class tin, and from there I should be good for lots of shots in that weight class.

This is the final result of eight tins of 300 count JSB MKIIs weight sorted and combined.

From the "Master list" you can see the full spread of 2.66 grains from all tins including the four odd ball pellets that were outside of the 33 and 34 grain base weights. Moving to the right to the "Left Row" column, you can see the spread of 0.90 grains for all pellets that weighed less than 34 grains, minus the four odd balls that threw the spread wide initially. To the right of that column, the "Main Sort" column, is where you can see the full spread of 1.88 grains for all eight tins without the four odd balls, and is a better view of the overall spread. To the right of that column, the "right Row" column, you can see the max spread of 0.95 grains for all pellets above 33.99 grains.

The counts for each base weight is also shown broken down into 0.20 grain increments, and is how they are placed back in the tins. There are some really nice piles like the 645 count of the 34.00 to 34.20 weights that will fill more than two tins and so forth. I knew with sorting eight tins there would be some nice high count piles. 

I spent a good amount of time developing the spreadsheet and the best way to go about this, and sorting the pellets, but it was a fun project while the weather and the C-19 are stealing the show. This also gives a good view of what to expect from these tins. From what I see, it's a good idea to sort these for better long range accuracy. At closer 30 yard or less ranges, it's probably not worth the effort, but maybe when grabbing a 32.40 grain and then the next pellet grabbed being up closer to 35 grains.

The very first tin I sorted had all four of the odd balls in it, including a metal mag pellet. After that the max spread remained the same, and they all looked to be just normal weights from the moulds. One tin did have an excess amount of lead dust. Very similar to a graphite coated tin of pellets when looking at fingers. The rest were fairly clean. "It was like a box of chocolates" going through these tins.

All done and back in the tins safe and sound. I'll probably just shoot up the ones still in the bins first being very careful to avoid a disaster. It was a fun project, but time to move on. I may post some groups later...
