you can tell by the bullets and the quality of the soft lead bullets they have bounced around a bit. I had a couple hundred cases but they probably went with the customer that we built the guns for. The customers (3 buddies if I remember right) each ordered duplicate guns based on the early Vaquero. The box says 200 grains but I weighed them earlier tonight and by my scale they were closer to 196 grains, not that it means anything.
