19.5

Hi Peter,
They vary from 18 to 20 grains.
The tin should tell you the weight in grains if the contents are original and I have found that most pellets in older tins are 19 grains or a little over.
I haven't tested any of the more recent White Rhino 20 grainers.
Kind regards,
John
Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
Milbro Rhino - 0.25 - 1.247grams (19.25 grains) (BC 0.020)
Making a mockery of growing old gracefully since I retired
Many thanks to you all
I can get disappointed with the chrono
I still have a sealed tin of the old green and white labelled '.25cal', '350 nominal', 'Made in Scotland by Milbro', which is marked as being '18gn.'

Hi John,
The Rhino .25 tin I still have is the last remaining tin from the batch I bought ex. gun shop closure many years ago, most of which you purchased from me, so not being very mobile at present, and out of interest, I will weigh some of the contents to see what differences in weight I find.
I also have a few tins of Webley Mosquito .25 - 6.35mm and Bisley Pest Control .25 - 6.35mm, neither of which state any weight on the tins, so I may weigh a few of them as well.

I have two tins of Green Rhino pellets. Lids and print look identical except that 1 states 18gn and the other states 19gn.
100 batch weighed twice from 18gn tin reveals 82@18.4-5gn. 12@18.8gn. 6@18.2gn. All mic. up at 0.243-5"dia.
100 batch weighed twice from 19gn tin reveals 78@18.4-5gn. 9@18.8gn. 4@19.6gn. 3@19.3gn.
The 18.4-5gn. and 18.8gn. pellets mic. up at 0.243-5"dia. The 19.6gn. and 19.3gn. pellets mic up at 0.245-7"dia.
HTH.
Small addendum of the omission from previous offering -
