Except for the RB calculator, all the other tools just get:

Write this down and you no longer need a computer, just a calculator.

Weight of Lead Sphere in grains.
Multiply the cube of the diameter in thousandths of an inch by 1502.6.

Example:  .72 x .72 x .72 = .373428  X 1502.6= 560.8424448

That only works if you have pure lead.  The beauty of the posted calculator is you can weigh your balls and then look up the various materials and get some idea what you are casting.  Or how much impurity you have in your lead.  Sometimes what you think is pure lead turns out to not be. :shake

I got the same thing until I clicked on Ballistician's Corner in the blue box on the left. Lot of good calculators there, thanks TS.
Guess the drop down doesn't work right

You are correct, Michael.  On the other hand the formula works well enough in sizes up to 1" even in lead alloys such as flashing, plumbing vents, plumbers lead,  wheelweight metal  and salvaged fishing weights that the error is so slight as to be of no concern.

I think that  in this case perfect is the enemy of good enough.
