Thanks, Drewbie- Your spread sheet a la LC Smithian is quite comparable to page 603 of my Greener book- In case you don't have a copy at hand, I'll quote: "Table Showing (Approximate) Number Of Pellets In Various Loads Of Any Size Shot-- an addemdum at the bottom of Greener's Chart reads: Note- There is a slight difference in the specific gravity of lead of commercial qualities----- and it is usually nearly 11 degrees--- Hard shot gives rather higher velocity than soft; soft gives slightly higher pressure. I'll bet you a case of Gideon Bibles that John M. Olin studied this data when attending Cornell. Foxy
