Thanks guys. I can't imagine how many handgun rounds I have cast. Heard a lot about 45 ACP being difficult to get to function reliably, but never had a problem with any of the handgun rounds. Carried one for a lot of years to make a living so figured I needed to be able to use one and shot a lot for a long time. Never had a problem with weight it those and pretty much did what has been suggested, didn't worry about weighing them, just shot them and never noticed a difference. But when I started trying rifle's without j-words, I decided to check the weight and was surprised to find so much difference in weight. In one casting session there is usually one really light boolit (more than 2 gr. lighter than the rest) and one really heavy boolit (more than 2 gr. heaver than the rest) But the majority were within a 2 gr. range. I was just surprised that using the same batch of lead, pretty much casting the same way, and running through a single session would produce that much difference in boolits. Thought maybe there was something I was doing wrong. I'm having a good time trying to work up a rifle load that is accurate, doesn't lead, and I can make. It helps to know that I don't have a casting impairment. The 30-30 worked out well, but got a little nervous getting ready for 30-06 and 270. Guess I had never considered either of those as being "cast" rounds. I have a lot to learn about rifle boolits, but at least I know my casting isn't in need of serious counseling. Thank you so much for all the comments. Them little rascals are a different breed entirely.
