Who makes a consistant .303 jacketed bullet?

[agit-prop]

Here are the results from the weighing of a random sampling of 10 Hornady 174gr RN interlock bullets, using a freshly calibrated Hornady digital scale.

174.2
174.3
174.5
174.6
174.6
174.7
174.7
174.8
174.9
175.0

Am I expecting too much? Will a 1gr spread in weight make much of a difference?

The short answer is no it won't make any difference.

Never weighed them, but hornadys seem to shoot very well out of our enfields.

has it been effecting accuracy and creating flyers?

No!

8/10 ths of a grain variation (0.45 % ) in a 174 grain bullet shows why Hornady is regarded as being such an accurate bullet

what is the margin of error on the scale?

what is the margin of error on the scale?

Good question!

what is the margin of error on the scale?

Most scales are accurate to 1/10+/- grain. The variation in bullet weight is normal and actually quite good for an over the counter bullet. You should not be too concerned with the variation with a RN hunting bullet, I doubt your gun will notice the difference. If you want to segregate bullets for accuracy use the ogive location measurement this is a much more important variable for accuracy.

Although this table says muzzleloader,it does anything nicely..To give you an idea watch how the trajectory requires a lot of weight or speed change to make a difference....In short I would say no...Ballistic coefficient is the big one.If it werent,nobody could ever cast
