(Quote from Paul in the "Lead Flint Holders" post:
"...A THIN LEAD WRAP is not " HEAVY". I measure the one I have been using in my rifle for 30 years and its about 30 grains in weight. And old, worn, Leather wrap I had used for years weighed in at about 15 grains. If I TRIMMED the extra lead from my wrap that just hangs out the sides, I could cut the weight down to under 25 grains..."
