A while back I was asked what bullets weigh, I thought they were talking about the slugs so I told them to look on the box.
Turns out they wanted to know what the entire cartridge weighed.
After I explained that a bullet was the slug and the assembly was called a cartridge I decided to find out.
The weights were arrived at using a Dillon Precision Digital Reloading Scale
All weights are in Grains there are 7000 grains in a pound.
This is the weight of one entire cartridge.
Simple math will tell you what your load out will weigh.
