I have "standardized" on this pellet because it is inexpensive ($6.24/500 on sale) and reasonably accurate in both my PCP rifles.
Today I weight sorted 200 pellets and found:
12 pellets weighed 14.2 gr
95 pellets weighed 14.3 gr
80 pellets weighed 14.4 gr
13 pellets weighed 14.5 gr
Average weight came to 14.347 gr
SD came to .071
ES was .3 gr
I will be firing test groups to evaluate if weight sorting will enhance accuracy.
In previous testing, it has been frustrating to have 8-9 shots into a ragged hole and get one or two fliers that were not caused by a pulled shot. These little buggers are very sensitive to wind so that could be my issue. Not sure how much a 2% ES in weight adds to fliers but this should address it. To put it in perspective, a 2% ES on a 150 gr bullet would be +/- 1.5 grains.
Therefore, I was encouraged to find a noticeable spread in pellet weight.
With so few pellets at the low and high end, I am pondering if I should shoot 5 shot or 10 shot groups. I am leaning towards 10 shot groups but would welcome opinions.
