I mixed up my bullets

Hi I'm new here and I have a slight problem. I have both 150 & 165 grain fusion shells 30-06. I have some out the the boxes and can't tell which ones they are. How can I identify them?
 
I've got an even simpler solution. Take them all to the range. Set up a target and carefully shoot all of them. Those that group together in one area were the 165's and those that group together in another were the 150's. :D
 
these were not loaded by me, they are store bought. I know a guy who said he will weigh them for me. I'm going to stick to the 165's so this won't be an issue in the future.
 
Next time, you might swipe a Sharpie pen or magic marker across the bases of one or the other (but be consistent, forever). Then it won't much matter if you keep them in the same box. If there are three loads, use a different color for the third, etc.
 
FloridaVet's solution is what I do. When building reloads, I color the primers on cartridges with different charge weights with different colored Sharpies. When I deprime, the color coding goes away and I can start fresh.
