IMO yes.
I would even go so far as to say wojo type rounds would be noticeably less accurate too. One, because of non-uniform propellant mixtures and that matter, but also because of the lack of plastics again - as that might mean there would be no obturating rings. An o-ring is a small plastic ring that fits around the outer shell to create a seal between the bomb and the tube. Without it, you'd increase the potential for exiting bombs to be launched with varying amounts of force, which would affect their trajectory (especially after a few firings heated up the barrel).
