Normally, I do not sort/weigh bullets before reloading. But this time I decided to see the variance between the weight of the bullets in the same package. I was sorting through a package of 100 Prvi 55 gr SP bullets (.224) for a p-dog load and found the lightest weighed 54.1 gr and the heaviest was 55.7 gr. The majority (about 2/3) of the bullet came in at 54.6/54.7. Only 16 came in at 54.9/55.0.

Is this about normal?

Anything to be concerned about if the weight is within +/- 1 grain?

Thanks.
