How many bullets do you get from a pound of lead?

[johnly]

I get seven .622" 1040 gr. 20 bore bullets from a NEI mold.

Bragger !!!!
Your IS bigger than mine :<(
Mike

p.s. shouldn't 7 bullets of 1040 grains be 1.0400 pounds, are you gaining weight?? :>)

[KCSO]

Nope 6 7/8th it looks like. You have to chop .0510 of of one yet.

[Doby45]

THAT is insane.

I sat down to cast up 15lbs of 22-55 RCBS boolits the other day...........I gave up about 4lbs into that venture.

Yours may be bigger than mine but what I lack in bore and stroke I more than make up for in RPM.

Well, now we know where all the WW are going!

[qajaq59]

Why 7? There can't be more then 5 elephants in Oregon????

[awaveritt]

Those are definitely worth mining for at the range.

[inline50]

There are 7000 grs. in a pound. Divide the cast weight of your bullet from that and you will see the amount you should obtain per pound

[Fixxah]

Is that in a Contender?

[RobS]

Never enough!!!!

[Longrange]

Ok, could not resist the smart comment so here it is.

One pound of lead = One pound of boolits.

Like said before, not enough.

That a nice prairie dog bullit

I have hunted sage rats with a 338 WM, but these bad boys are intended for some wild hogs at close range. Daddy always said to always use enough gun.

Close... It's for an Encore with a fully rifled 20 ga. barrel.

Those aint boolits, those is artillery rounds

[skeettx]

Neat, are you using brass hulls or plastic? How are you keeping the bullet in the hull?

[shdwlkr]

at a north south skrimish years ago they were shooting cannons and one of the groups I was at said that each cannon round was 12 pounds of lead. Now that would be a nice dig out of the sand bank.

[johnly]

Plastic hulls for now as they give early pressure signs, but will eventually switch to brass. I have a 20 ga. roll crimper for the plastic hulls, but the lubed slugs are a push fit into 3" Fiocchi hulls.

Thanks, that is NEAT!!!
