TIL my paint roller covers have a 400 square foot rating

I was painting my living room in my apartment and finally finished the second coat. When I checked the sleeve on the Wooster Pro roller cover, it said it's rated for 400 square feet. I got through about 380 square feet of wall before it started to really shed, which is way more precise than I expected. Has anyone else found that the listed coverage on a tool is surprisingly accurate?

That Wooster Pro roller cover knew its limits better than most of my weekend plans. I'm just impressed you did the math on your wall space while covered in paint. If a roller sheds at 380 instead of 400, I'd call that a win and not question the paint gods.

Just keep a wet edge and nobody will notice.

My last paint job looked like a crime scene from all the roller fuzz.
