I was weighing bunches of cast bullet getting a total weight like 3.3 lbs from my last cast session. I then count those bullets dividing 23,100 (grains in 3.3 lbs) by the number of bullets to get an average bullet weight. Only scale I have for weighing bulk is a Sunbeam dial kitchen scale and after using it once, I know it is not accurate. Is there a good affordable scale that I can use, one that can give accurate pounds and ounces and can handle at least 3 to 7 pounds.
I am getting close to 2 grain variations in the lot for .44 cal bullets, 247.7 to 249.3. The bullets look a little spotted, but fully formed. I am keeping about a third as good and remelting the rest. My .357 180 gr come out nice shiny and crisp edges.
The .44 is an old RCSB 240 gr Silhouette 2 cavity mold, it was a little rusty. I soaked it in an aviation rust remover and it looks clean.
The .357 is a new this spring N.O.E. 180 gr from an RCBS Silhouette design and 4 cavity.
Anyone have a recommendation on a scale?
