Who weighs their cast bullets?

I have casted bullets for rifles and handguns for decades and recently began weighing my cast bullets; it was an education. I found that in lots from the same 10-pound pot of bullet metal the weights of bullets varied several grains.

I now weigh all my cast bullets before sizing and lubing. My criteria is 0 for the base weight and +.5+, 0 and -.5+ grains for the base weight. I end up with three tubs of bullets: Light, Zero and Heavy. My groups have tightened more than I suspected by shooting similar weight bullets. Try it, you may like it.
