Do you weigh commercially bought bullets?

[SGT ROCK 11B]

I don't cast but I get the same bullets over and over again. i.e. .38 caliber 158 LSWC so I do not worry about it.

I cast more round balls for muzzle loading than I do bullets. If I were truly concerned about accuracy I would weigh everything. When I weigh balls, I lump them into 3/10ths of a grain lots. It is surprising to see commercially produced balls all over the place, they are swaged not cast (Hornady, Speer) I can produce a much better cast ball and know exactly what I've got. I cast a few bullets for black powder heavy rifles and know that with the right mold I can produce a heavy bullet that is so fine you can hardly see the seam of the mold, the guy that made that mold has long gone...there are some guys still alive that produce a good mold. When it comes to revolver bullets I usually have an ample supply of Lazer Cast, they always work great for me, no coating just lube, moderate speeds.

If you've got that much free time, I've got a couple hundred rifle rounds that need pulled down.
