Title: Re: Cast bullet question Post by madsenshooter on Feb 2nd, 2018 at 4:26pm
Less dense, and consequently lower weight, yes, longer no. Larger in diameter, yes, due to better fill out of the cavity, and a bullet might be a very tiny bit longer due to the same, but there's only X amount of space in the mold, said space just gets filled a wee bit better. Volume is of the mold cavity, stays the same. Mine are running about 10gr lighter than what the same bullet would weigh in WW. There's a bit less shrinkage as the alloy cools and solidifies vs an alloy with more lead.
