I have found this to be accurate by measuring the harness of both bullets before loading , which could be months after casting, and pre mixed ingots , which could be many months after smelting (I premix quite a few kg using commercially pure lead and tin). FYI I use the Cabin Tree tester (see here:

Very interesting, thank you.
I like that Cabin tree tester very much, particularly as it seems to be able to measure run out as well...
