I figured it out by weight based on pure lead, but not for antimony mixed in.
000buck is 54 grains each, but i can't figure it out for the other sizes.
Thanks,
Carl
any website out there with this info?
 
Not off a website, but the latest issue of Shotgun Sports has an article on buck. The table included has a diameter of .25" and a weight of 23.6 gr for #3 buck.

HTH....
 
Thanks, Man!!! Could you do me a favor?

Don't waste alot of time on this, but if you get a wild hair could you post the whole table (just the buckshot)???
Like i said, pure favor, don't waste time on it.
But thanks just the same.

Adam (well, both of you who posted, really)

Thanks a ton for this info.
There is a very good comaraderie on this voard, in general.
I enjoy it very much for things like this.

Of course in the real world, most buckshot is never quite the size that they say it is. My Hornady OOO for loading, weighs about 64grs each. Oh well, I get more per pound that way.
 
Thansk to you all.

Charming to hear that at least 2 of you intended to type it in for me, and one just beat the other to it!
Great!
