Please forgive. I did a search.
I'm considering getting into bullet casting, especially swc for the 38/357 and TC for the 9mm.
I don't know how to convert to find out how many bullets I could cast with a pound of lead.
I "think" there are 7,000 grains in a pound, but I don't know if that's the same "grain" as in bullet weight. I know it is for powder. ??
If there are 7,000 grains in a pound, then that pound should yield about 46.6666 150 grain bullets less of course lost to dross etc.
Am I close? Are these the right "grain" and "pound" usages?
OK, I'm stupid. I beat you to it.
Thanks.
