I quit worrying about the total weight when dropped if they are all close enough together in weight as has been said before.

I care about the fill out more than anything. I have the 358 158 grain SWC TL mold. mine drops at about 152 to 155 grains with straight wheel weight alloy when they fill out properly.

My 200 grain SWC in .452 drops them at about 200 on the money. If anything they drop a bit on the lighter side at 195 or so.

My .41 Mag mold is the 210 grain SWC TL mold with straight wheel weight alloy they drop at just about 210 on the money.

I weigh to assure they are consistent in weight within 3 grains +/- of each other.
