Hey Guys, I weighed those 101 balls with my brand new AWS-100 Digital Pocket Scale (a neat item) and got these results.

04 were 221 to 221.9 grains (discarded those)
09 were 222 to 222.9 grains
66 were 223 to 223.9 grains
22 were 224 to 224.9 grains
101 TOTAL

Weighing them is fast and easy with that cheap little $20 scale (including shipping). Every now and then I would weigh the same ball three or four times just to see if the original weight would repeat. It almost always did. Now and then I would get a reading that was 0.1 grain different.

When I weighed the ones I casted, I got almost the same kind of results. Most of them were in the 223 range out of my LEE mold.

I cast .54 cal R.E.A.Ls for my Hawkens carbine that has a 1 in 24" twist. It loves them. I never casted round balls before, but am getting tempted. Semi gets me in more trouble with his ideas that I have to try.

Thank God I have a wife who understanding my terrible affliction and empathizes with me. ;)
