I had a slightly different problem with D&J bullets. The weights weren't bad (not great, but okay). My problem is that I had specifically asked for .429 200 grain round nose flat points for a .44-40. What I got was .431 200 grain RN-FP. These don't work very well as loading them without bulging the case neck is extremely difficult. If the bullets aren't perfectly straight you end up pulling them because they won't chamber. Guess I'll have to look at Carroll bullets (Bull-X doesn't have what I want listed)
