    yeah. Cell structure etc etc defines the difference.
    I did 4 years wood science studies (40 odd years ago) and some of that info actually stuck in my brain..
    Hooroo.

    Square container with rounded corners, the flat sides interupt the slide-in-a-circle effect and "tumble the casts. Same qty and mills as Ausglock.
    Don't worry about life, no-one gets out alive.

    This is true. A round bowl needs different moves to properly shake and tumble, circular "swirl" only won't cover them boolits good.

    Having said that,my bowls are round. But if I was making large amounts I would change.

    I use round containers and start with swirling for a few seconds then start flipping the bullets like tossing a salad.
