Who weighs their cast bullets?

[Adam Helmer]

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.

weighing buyllets for rifle shooting makes sense but handgun bullets not so much...unless you are casting for target shooting. Even commercial cast bullets have a fair amount of variation. So unless you are a bullseye shooter in handgun...not worth the bother.
