[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 881340, member: 3615"] Different manufacturers "calibrate" (can't think of a better term) their molds with different alloys. Lee uses a 20-1 alloy while Lyman uses #2. Bullet weights will come out different than advertised just based on alloy. The tooling that cuts the molds changes as more molds made, the difference can be 0.001 or more between molds and this can also change the bullet weight from advertised. As long as all the bullets are similar weight you'll be okay. [/QUOTE]
