3" Ball Shell Star Capacity

Does someone know approximately how many 3/8" pumped Tiger Tail stars would go into a 3" ball shell? You can assume the stars are placed around each hemi up to the rim, leaving just a void for the burst charge. I'm trying to determine how much Tiger Tail comp (using 3/8 pumped stars) would go into a single 3" shell. Thanks.

Probably going to depend on the actual finished dia of the stars. Make plenty and see what's left, store the rest safely (use one or two as a rising tail.).

Probably close to 100-150 stars. (educated guess). Not all comps are equal, but 3" shells will use around 80-100 grams of stars.

I agree with nater, I use about 140 in a 3" shell.
