SOFT cast lead bullets vs swaged lead bullets

[FW]

Is there any practical difference between swaged lead bullets and cast bullets made of relatively pure lead such as scrap pipe or sheet?

The application would be light 38 and 45 loads. Most of the information found discusses different bullet alloys when using cast bullets. If a swaged lead bullet with a certain load works fine, should one expect a properly cast soft lead bullet to behave similarly to the swaged bullet?

The big difference between the two is the cast bullet might have air bubbles in it and therefore be less accurate. The swaged one usually is more uniform. Most of us that shoot at targets will not notice the difference. If you were looking for that edge at this point you would already know this.
