Guys, I had the Woodsman come in today and it came with 100 round balls, .490" size.
These are the sprue-less balls which supposedly vary greatly in weight. I weighed 12 of them and the light was 177 and the heaviest was 179.8 grains with an average of 178.4 grains. Soooo, next time someone says that the store bought pretty balls with no flat spot on them are no good because they weigh all over the scale. You can tell them, I like my smooth, sprue less balls just fine mister. |
I knew I had posted something about weighing balls a few years back. Went looking through my old threads and found one from 2010 where I weighed the balls from a .530 Lee mold.
This is what I posted back then. 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. |

It's fast and easy with a $10 digital scale. http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh...ywords=amw+100 I see that scale weighs in grams not grains, can it be converted to read in grains or did you convert the weights yourself with a calculator afterward? I have a similar scale that can be set to weigh in grams, ounces, etc. 1 gram = 15.432 grains BPS |
I forget which scale I have but it can switch back and forth between grains and grams. I never use grams so it remains on grains.

BPS, the scale has a "mode" button which allows you to set it to weigh things in grains, grams, carats or ounces.
I don't know why the Amazon ad does not show that feature, but it does show up in the "answered questions" section of the ad. |
boy Semi you can't beat that price either. That's a dandy little scale for the price.
