HB, your thread caused what few brain cells left functioning to activate! And this early in the morning!

One cell said to another we have a lee 690 mold, and I just saw one laying on the bench last night

WOW.

Then I actually found it, weighed it and viola!

488.5 Now, I know it's not 99.75% pure lead, but some real soft lead I got as scrap lead. So the calculator is right on,(495), the little bit of tin that's probably in that lead causes it to weigh a bit less.

Oh, why have a huge ball like that? To try out single ball loads in my 12 ga. shotgun, your plan also? No, I never got around to trying them, it's on my list of things to do this summer NOW THAT I'M RETIRED!

And to fire them heavy loads, I got a lead sled that I still have not tried out, had it for most of a year.
