[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 588243, member: 2736"] Yes. most factory bullets are swaged and that is where the chance of a slight variance comes in even on the Mono Metal bullets. When you Swage a soft material like lead or copper they will compress to a different density if the hardness/anneal is not perfict for the process. And may have some spring back varying the size. The Turned bullet minimizes this (The reason a machined bullet can be slightly more accurate Under the right conditions. The allow rods can be checked for uniform hardness before turning minimizing this problem. And on a good CNC machine tolerances can be better. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
