I'm jumping in not to question your findings over the years, but in 38 cases using 3gr Bullseye, I've never found any noticeable difference in accuracy going from the hbwc to the swc. I know everyones results are different due to crimping etc. I do however find significant differences in accuracy by changing brands in plated bullets all sized the same diameter. I guess that's what makes loading your own so much fun. If I found everything to be the same in accuracy in all my guns then loading would get boring.
