Pellet Advice ?

[Rapidnick]

Rapidnick,

I should have said 'measured average wt', but thought that was a bit cumbersome.

The actual weights I have cited are the average of the weighing of three hundred (300) individual pellets on a 5dp (0.01 mg) lab balance (Sartorius Quintix).

In addition, you can get a good estimate for the average weight of a pellet on a 2 dp scale - if you weigh say 100 to 200 pellets, and divide the measured weight by the number of the pellets. You just need to make the weight of the item being weighed to be huge in relation to the scale uncertainty. This method will not give you any of the variance in individual pellet weights, but will give you a good estimate of the average weight.

Have fun

regards

I should've realised Russ that you were using laboratory scales for weighing your pellets but as I'm sure you will accept, most on here don't! It still doesn't stop them displaying ft lb figures to 2 places of decimals which is, as I wrote earlier , spurious accuracy.
