I picked up a bag of 100 cast bullets for 9mm a while back. They were marked on the package as 115gr cast. I loaded them according to data starting with the start loads. I noticed they seemed a little "snappy" for a start load with cast. I haven't shot too many of them.
Fast forward a month or two. I picked up a small electronic scale a few days ago. Was curious about how consistent the bullet weights on these were. They are reasonably consistent, but are in the 128 - 129 grain range. Looking at the data, my loads were right at max, :? not start loads, like I thought. I still have some loaded that I haven't shot yet. I guess I will be pulling them, as variances in powder throwing may put a few over.
Bottom line, check those weights.
