Finally got around to weighing 500 swaged round balls. Hornady .530s. Imagine my dismay when I realized the spread was 216.9 - 226.0 Grains!
When I picked up that 216.9 grain ball, before ever placing it on the scale, my wife said that one looks small! How she could pick that out from the other 499 shiny balls on the table is beyond me, but she was sure right.
The majority of the balls ended up in 3 sorted groups:
223.5-223.9
224.0-224.4
224.5-224.9
Only about 20 balls weighed more than that 224.9. I had about 150 balls that were all over the map between 220 and 223, and only a couple under 220.
Now on to measure the 32s, 45s and 50s!
