Bullet weight info needed
« on: December 20, 2004, 01:30:26 AM »
I'm looking for the information on the results of weighing cast bullets. I particularly need the results for heavier cast bullets, over 299 grains. Light is good too. Maybe 22 and 25 caliber bullets. The ideal information would have mold maker/number, and the weights, sort of like this:
Lyman 457125
524.0   1
524.1   0
524.2   6
524.3   8
524.4   19
524.5   32
524.6   76
524.7   41
524.8   28
524.9   11
525.0   12
525.1   7
525.2   2
525.3   0
525.4   1
525.5   2
All responders will receive proper attribution.
Thanks;

This is for an article on bullet weight variation, what variation in bullet weights should we expect in a casting session. I weigh (almost) all bullets cast and put them in .1 grain lines, record the results. I need more heavy and light bullet results.

If I do my part they generally don't vary more than .5 grain and hover around .3 for a 325 grain bullet. It also depends on your mix that you use and how consistant you can keep it. Usually as the pot get's low the weights will lighten up a bit too.
