Completed Cartridge weight

Ha ha ha.

Opinions vary. Lol

I try to keep my powder to 0.1gr some guys have better equipment.

I bought a few hundred Nosler 62gr for my 22N, mostly for brass.
It was on clearance at the time and little more than brass.
Here is some of it SORTED
Just like you would expect, a distribution of cartridge weight (with a large enough sample).
The high and low culls showed most was due to brass weight.
Got some dummy rounds (3) out of it.
Could have just waited and found the light/heavy brass after firing.

I've come up with ROUGHLY - .01 GRAMS = 1.5 GRAINS.

This is what you said.

Hey everyone, new here! I'm looking for some of you experienced guy's knowledge.

If I were to weigh factory loaded ammunition, and sort it all out by weight I am assuming that I'd have groups of more consistent groups and eliminate flyers.

This was your question.

looking to see if anyone has experience in how much 1.5 grains has an effect on moa down range on a .223 load. as brass and primers are going to be much closer to a consistent weight than powder. powder is obviously the biggest variable when it comes to the weight of factory loaded ammo, when i say obviously that's all i've ever heard from guys that i've seen shoot incredibly precise.

This is your first mention of powder. Powder is usually the most consistent variable. Brass the least.

You ask a question on factory founds and seeking advice. You got it. Obviously the question you asked was not what you wanted.

As for 223 loads, a node is typically +/-0.1 grains. Normal reloading range for a powder in 223 is ~2 to 2.5 grains but normally loads within 5% of maximum.

looking for the answer to the question of 1.5 grains of ammunition accuracy down range on a .223/5.56 working up and down a load what's noticeable. not black hills this and fundamentals that. thanks though. I'll bring a spotter next time and check my gear combo.

If the 1.5 grains is powder, there is a big difference.
If the 1.5 grains is all brass and primer, less difference.

Since you are weighing complete ammo you don't know how much of each rounds weight difference is projectile, powder, case head or unicorn dust. My guess is they print identically.

Weighing/sorting the completed factory round is not going to provide a meaningful difference in groups.

You know he's gonna yell at you for not answering his question about the effects of a 1.5gr powder difference...
