I finally moved all of my reloading equipment to my new house yesterday and got it set up and when I went to zero my scales everything seemed good. The problem I ran into is when I took a bare bullet (a 270 150 grain partition) I set my scale to dead on 150 grain and put the bullet in the pan and out of 5 bullets all out of the same box maybe 1 of them actually read a true 150 grains the rest were just over or under. I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with my scales or are all bullets not the exact weight that they are supposed to be because I took some accubond and some gamekings and they were the same story.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

Fondly remember a 146 grain box of .270 150 grain Speers that made me look gooood at the range with either H4831 or WW760. Skinny is my EX.Alcohol was involved.
