How much do your balls weigh?

[Beartracker]

Not trying to get personal here My scales are really cheap and I'm trying to figure out haw many .454 balls I can cast per pound of lead. Also want to figure the same for .380 balls. Thought some of you might know just what they weigh or at least an average. Thanks , Mike

I round up for calculations, 150 grain for .44, 90 grain for .36, you always have some loss in dross/junk so not far off in the final count.

7000 divided by 150 = 46lb.

7000 divided by 90 = 77lb.

Thanks Manyirons. That really helps.

This calculator (and others on the same page) is a useful little tool.
