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

Dromia, you must have been looking too close into a can of something, look at that line of boolits, all over the place!

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).

You admitted it to me earlier, you haven't the patience required to do the job properly!

Gosh your deafness is getting worse old man.
Didn't have the patience to do it for long. :ugeek:

Ah yes - I see it now, they follow the Fibonacci sequence, clever idea.

Ah, those pesky wabbits.
