With a good digital scale, you can weigh 22lr rounds to group rounds by weight and will get an amazing group accuracy. You will also notice there is a rather wide variation of weight in a bulk pack of 22lr ammo. if you want to have more consistency, weight the rounds and group them by weights. I’m not talking about weighing the noses, weigh the entire round. variations in weight are mostly due to powder/bullet differences during production.

CCI bullets tend to be more consistent in weight, so differences in those rounds is more due to powder charge differences.

After you sort by weight and rim thickness, run them through a Paco Tool for the nth degree of consistency. Makes bulk pack behave verrrry nicely(most of the time).

Will also make higher performing configurations on the nose. The ‘Nasty Nose’ deforms to nearly .50” under 200 yds.
