American order

[gadabout]

Just received my 115/124g mix order of v-crown. I can't tell these apart without weighting them. Anybody know an easier way to separate these?  I think the 114g are a little shorter but not at a glance. You have to put them on a flat surface, then look for the short one's and pick them out. Whatever I do I will re weight these when done. Only got 500 to do!!! Oh well it's winter but I have a new indoor range I have been going too twice a day since they opened. Craig

As stated on the other thread I am now done with the sorting of the two sizes. You just can't tell these bullets apart by looking, you must weigh each one. Got a nice mix maybe 300 125g and 200 115g. I am a happy camper anyway.  Craig

One trick I have used is to stand them up.  Taller bullet of the same diameter/design tend to weigh more.  You still end up with some that have to be weighed individually, but I have been able to sort large groups quickly in this way.

I don't know that I have tried this with 115/124 grain in 9mm.  I have mainly used this with .400" bullets between 155/165/180 which measure 0.572"/0.598"/0.629" respectively.  The 180's stand out, but the 155/165 take a keen eye to see the height difference.  I often will stand up a group, them put a clear ruler over the top which helps make the difference stand out.

Hey SQL thanks for the info but I tried that and the bullets just look the same. One's that I was sure were one or the other turned out to be the other every time. The hollow point is even different but not all the same weight. These were all v-crown and real nice but hard to deal with Ha Ha. All done now except for reloading but no rush there as I have a few hundred 125g loaded already. Boy I do so well on these pull downs that I will put up with some inconvenience. Heck you can't even buy what you want at this point in time.  Craig
