[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 3010623, member: 121268"] Tolerances on machined parts largely comes down to tool wear and how often the machinist replaces tooling. Variances in material metallurgy tolerances, machine calibration/wear can also come into play. Then there is always the "operator error" can be minor to catastrophic regardless the best tooling, machines and materials. In even the best machining there is always a tolerance, nothing will ever measure or weigh exactly the same, as long as the variance is within acceptable/usable limits its fine and modern machining technology has certainly made this virtually a non issue in bullet production. I do think this is why lathe turned bullets are more accurate/consistent than swaged monolithic bullets. That said I still mic one bullet in every box I order. [/QUOTE]
