Funny how a quick spin is heavier when it seems to have that extra little taper...

Very useful post Dan. Thanks.

I would assume he simply weighed them using a grain scale using the various products they had in stock at the shop he works at.


Good post Dan.

Could be scale calibration, could be rounding, or any number of things.
