Sharps,
Theory only: A 16 ga ball should weigh 1/16 of a pound or one oz. I think the "classic" 16 ga shot load was 1 oz( I shoot almost only 16 ga and like you usually shoot 1 1/8 oz- 1 1/4 oz #2 in Germany). I think 1 oz is about 437gr, which is less than your mold drops. I think worrying in this much detail is "too much sugar for a dime". If your ball is the right dia.,I wouldn't worry about the weight,drive on with whatever you think the load should be. I wouldn't put too much hope in the gun shooting a bullet and a ball to a similar POI. If it does,be very happy. Mike
