    figuring boolit weight by volume

    what is the volume of say coww lead per cu. in?? I designed a boolit and my dad( lucky me, is an architect) drew it on autocad, and said he can make it 3-d and find the volume, so I want to find out how much it will weigh before I send the design off to accurate. can anyone help?? thanks-Travis
