Getting low on .530 balls for the Renegade and Great Plains. So I had a little casting session this afternoon.

I have a good supply of dead soft roof jack lead from a roofing contractor buddy. I ended up throwing 158 balls with my $20 Lee aluminum mold. Don't let anyone talk you into paying close to $100 for a Lyman or RCBS ball mold and handles.

Here's what I ended up with.

24 smooth shiney balls that weighed between 223.0 and 223.4 grains
89 smooth shiney balls that weighed between 223.5 and 223.9 grains
38 smooth shiney balls that weighed between 224.0 and 224.4 grains
7 wrinkled balls that weighed less than 223 grains (discarded)

Cheap shooting (and fun).
