Roundball Weight Consistency Check

[Flint62Smoothie]

Yes ... too much time on my hands, but it went really fast, weighing better than 15 RBalls per minutes on my electronic (non-PC :winking: ) reloading scale.

I thought the varation was pretty consistent, taken Lots A & B were different boxes from the same lot. Can't wait to plot a different lot!

:hatsoff: !

I'd say that's pretty impressive manufacturing quality control...other than the occasional box of Speers I might find at a bargain, Hornady is the ball I use, and specifically the .440 in my .45's...so I certainly appreciate your efforts and the sharing of results
:bow: :hatsoff:

Mowrey,

Those are good results. I was suprised a few years ago to find over 5 grains difference in a box of Speer R/Bs. I had always assumed that swaged balls were better than cast.

I started casting and found about a one and a half grain difference after culling any that looked wrinkled, etc. I haven't bought any swaged balls for some time. Maybe they are making them better now. :hmm: GW

FYI ... just found this analysis I did last winter on one lot of 500 50cal swaged roundballs from Buffalo Bullet Company.

The histogram shows a pretty much normal distribution for such a mfg process.
