Sounds about average to me. However with the spread of the steel and zinc weights, the trash % is only going to go up :( Be sure to separate the stick-on weights from the clip-on ones, as the adhesive ones are almost pure lead, and I have used that lead sucessfully in my black powder rifles/pistols.

Silly PA folks...you spelled patriotsfan-24 wrong! :kidding:

95% was pretty good when I was in school!
