Being somewhat new to the reloading game, I figure it's better to ask a question than try to guess.
I just received some 9mm bullets. And like I always do when I get a new projectile, I measure and weigh a few to see how consistent they are and to have a reference when figuring out the COL for my reloads. These bullets are advertized at 122 grains. They are very consistent in diameter and relatively consistent in length. However among the 10 randomly selected samples I found one that weighs 128.5 grains and another the weighs 127.8 grains. The rest were between 121.8 and 124.0. Should I be concerned about overpressure with the 128.5 bullet? Should I weigh all the rest (there are 500 in the batch)? Is the weight discrepancy something I should bring to the attention of the bullet manufacturer?
