I am wondering what the Tl358-158Swc is weighing for others using straight wheel weights? Not sized or lubed

This is a very accurate bullet but it tends to lead my barrels when pushed to higher velocities. I have a Freechex tool and made some special Aluminum gas checks for it...no more leading. Its' bevel base takes a gas check quite nicely. I've found this to be an accurate bullet in all my .38 Caliber guns.

What lube? How much?
I am pushing this bullet to 1650fps in my Model 92 20 inch barrel with Zero leading ( and no gas check ).

Finally got to the shop so I could weigh some.
Average of 10 = 156.5 Straight clip on wheel weights.

No, Normal coating. Just enough to give the bullet a brown tint..
