I think we're both going to have some fun.

I guess you're going to have to post some pictures to prove which one looks better :wink:
Mine looks pretty much like all the other examples I've seen online: very straight grained (okay, plain) walnut. The maple versions are gorgeous, but the price also reflects that. I agree, they should be lots of fun to shoot.
I poured, sorted, and weighed about 300 little tiny round balls last night. I used my digital scale and rejected anything that didn't read 46 grains on my scale, which should put them at +/- 1/2 grain. The scale is set up for archery, so it doesn't read tenths of grains, but they should be close enough, I would think. For my .50 cal stuff, I go up to -1 grain of the heaviest balls, but I figured a grain would make more difference on these little buggers. I can't wait for a break in the crappy weather, but I don't see one coming anytime soon. :cursing:
