To begin, I have never done any reloading. Was talking with a fellow who claims many years of reloading experience. Says he casts his own bullets. He tells me that his bullets do vary in weight because some of the lead he uses may be of different alloys-- from different sources.
Sounds plausible to me. How much variation from lightest to heaviest is to be expected from nominal 158 grain 38 caliber self-cast bullets?
And this variation surely will affect point of target impact from shot-to-shot. For most consistent performance, would one weigh each bullet and match them by weight before inserting them into the casings?
