Are they from a single boolit mould and what is the spread of weight?

Yes they are all from the same 4 Cavity mould from one casting session.

Sugested mould weight is 175 gns, the weight with the greatest number of boolits is 176.1.

Weight range is from 175 -176.4.

I will segregate the boolits into four lots from this.

Lot 1 175 gns - 175.4 gns will go in the pot for reusing (16 boolits) these are too light for the mould and probably have voids that will effect flight.

Lot 2 175.5 gns - 175.7 gns this batch will be used for practice, plinking and out to 200yrd target, (33 boolits).

Lot 3 175.8 gns - 176.1 gns this batch will be used for target accuracy/shooting out 600yrds as these are on the money for weight with spread of 3/10ths of a gn. (99 boolits).

Lot 4 176.2 gns - 176.4 these will again be used for target shooting as a batch, the over weight is probably due to the moulds halves being slightly open so no voids but a tad larger hence heavier so sizing will take care of them (41 Boolits).

Ah yes - I see it now, they follow the Fibonacci sequence, clever idea. (Whats that bit of kit hanging over the end of your scale? ;) )
