Indeed -- my granddad was a competition marksman and did the whole reloading thing. I used to collect brass and lost tire weights for him -- I can still hear his brass tumbler spinning. Digital analytical balances weren't available to average Joes back then, but he did his best with a mechanical balance and meticulously trimmed this brass. He cast lead for his revolvers, but everybody even back then bought jacketed stuff [from Hornady, Nosler, etc] for rifle and pistol.
