I have seen this asked here before, and did a little math today to answer the recurring question of 'how many x grain boolits from a .lb of lead?'
(idle hands and all that . . )
[smilie=1:
Here it is broken down by boolit weight.
I started with 50 grains and went all the way up to 1500 just for the sake of sluggers.
Boolit Weight in grains - # of complete boolits from one .lb of lead.
50---------------------------140
60---------------------------116
70---------------------------100
80---------------------------87
90---------------------------77
100-------------------------70
110-------------------------63
120-------------------------58
130-------------------------53
140-------------------------50
150-------------------------46
160-------------------------43
170-------------------------41
180-------------------------38
190-------------------------36
200-------------------------35
225-------------------------31
250-------------------------28
275-------------------------25
300-------------------------23
325-------------------------21
350-------------------------20
375-------------------------18
400-------------------------17
425-------------------------16
450-------------------------15
475-------------------------14
500-------------------------14
550-------------------------12
600-------------------------11
650-------------------------10
700-------------------------10
750-------------------------9
800-------------------------8
850-------------------------8
900-------------------------7
1000-----------------------7
1100-----------------------6
1200-----------------------5
1300-----------------------5
1400-----------------------5
1500-----------------------4
And it doesn't matter what allow you are using, as we are going by the actual weight of the bullet as cast.
