I'll have to keep that scale in mind Aaron. Not a bad price at all if it is that accurate.
If I did the calculations right, and that's a BIG IF!
The smaller BG:
8 5/8"(21.9 cm) has a standard weight of 8.6 oz(244 gm) according to
Bruce's RW Chart Link. Your BG weighed 1 pound, 2 1/8th oz/18.125 oz(513.835 gm) according to the reading on the scale from your picture.
The math:
18.125/8.6=2.107 which is a relative weight of 210.7.
and
The larger BG:
9 1/8"(23.2 cm) has a standard weight of 10.4 oz(295 gm) according to Bruce's RW chart. Your BG weighed 1 pound, 6 1/8th oz/22.125 oz(627.23 gm) according to the reading on the scale.
The math:
22.125/10.4=2.127 which is an incredible relative weight of 212.7!
Very impressive!!!
Now, I had to convert inches to centimeters and ounces to grams to work with Bruce's metric chart but I think I did the conversions correctly. So I would say, those are some crazy plump BG!
In the mentioned link above, Bruce mentions the highest RW he's seen in a BG was about 170... He said he feels anything over 180 is not possible. So, perhaps Bruce can weigh in... Either I screwed something up(highly likely), Bruce is wrong and BG can have RW's over 180(highly unlikely) or your scale isn't quite accurate enough(possible).
