Final note

As a guide, this should be almost perfect for shotting floats of the specified weight. However, floats do vary in buoyancy so some may need one or two small shot to get the float to sit exactly how you want it to, similarly it may sink the float so one shot may need reducing in size. Our shot conversion guide has the weight of a wider range of different shot.
