Pallet gages? Mmmmmm!

Even the $20 calipers are pretty darn accurate. do not use much pressure or you can cause damage.. Or you can look up pellet gages.

You are better off buying the Terry Robb pellet Sizer that actually helps improve accuracy since you are wanting to go through the sorting process anyway...

This gentleman sponsors AGN. This is for measuring and NOT for resizing.

I use a Pelletgage. I only have the .25. Is it worth it (extreme sorting)? Simple answer is that after you have spent all of that time and done it very well,... and you still get fliers and such,... you get be pretty sure (at least MUCH MORE sure) that it is NOT the pellets that are causing your issue. On weight, I can most always put at least one pellet in a 12 hole egg carton, with most to the middle, like a bell curve. That is only weighing to the xx.x place.



That is the elimination of a possibility/unknown. That is always good. I am not sure the average shooter has the skills or equipment to actually see the difference in sorting (because other things/factors) will be messing with the groups.

Hi

I have the pelletgage and sometimes it is a bit confusing because the pellets do not have a completely round head and they are clipped when passing through the meter. If I had to choose I would invest in a balance

Nation, 

The original Pelletgage has 8 different apertures on it to determine head size. Once you know what head size a particular gun likes, you can get a Pelletgage R. You specify what size your gun likes, and the Pelletgage R sorts 50 at a shot in a few seconds.

75 yards only sized with the Terry Robb Sizer set perfect. Not weighed. Straight out of the tin and only sized... Not a cherry picked group. 

The very best Method, IMO, would be an air gauge. It would be a fairly expensive investment but Accuracy would be there. Quick too. Now, It won't point out, out of round conditions. I've considered building one but haven't found the time.

Since this topic came back-up I'll take it a little off topic. Anyone using these to measure skirts after you measure the head as compared to the roll method?
