GP11 Weight Distribution

Got bored tonight and thought I would try this out. I weighed 180 rounds of GP11 all of the same lot. Here are the results. I'll try shooting them in the next week to see if it made any difference ..

I've always found GP11 to be the most accurate surplus I've ever shot. It'd be interesting to see what differences you find.

Good article, thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Quote - 'The largest variation was found in overall loaded cartridge weight, mostly due
to the non-uniform wax sealer. Weight spread was 415.5 grains to 420.2 grains.
About 2.2 grains of that can be accounted for with case weight variations, and
another 0.5 grains in bullet variations. The rest seems to be the wax.'
