Here's a kind of trivia question;
Does anybody know what some common items weigh? A new dime, or penny? A paper clip? (I think my NRA member card weighs around 55 gr.) I just bought a used Powder Scale, a Lyman, and would like to check it out, but I don't want to spend $20 or more on check weights. I weighed a couple 240 gr lead bullets (as per the box they came in) and came up with 242 and 243 gr. but I know lead weight varies with the alloy. Not to worry about too heavy reloads as I rarely get near maximum on the powder charges.
thanks,
Mike
