Wondering what peoples tolerances are when casting balls.
For my rifles I will accept +-1 grain from the desired weight. No reason other than I feel it reduces a variable I can control.
I've been doing the same for my smoothbore but I'm wondering whether it is really that necessary.
Back in the 1700s I can't imagine bag mould casting was that precise. Out to say 100 yards does a few grains here and there make a difference or was it just that they didn't have the ability/care to be precise then?
