Based on the number of replies I received from this
post there is not a 1:1 mapping between melted lead and
the final product.

Usually bolt holes are drilled, access trimmed, slag skimmed
off, a little lead is waisted or hardens before it is fully used,
which account for a slight weight descrepancy.   No I realize
not 50%, but, some people feel that there can be as much
as a 2 lbs difference from melted state to V weight.
Overall most people seemed to agree with melting 1 lbs
extra to get the most accurate P/V weights.

And for the record I know lead does not evaporate.
Next time I post I will ensure my words are more clear.

Paul
