Here is another place to look around for your questions:
http://www.lasc.us/castbulletnotes.htm
Halfway down the page there is this chart:
Alloy shrinkage of cast bullets
Composition, % Brinell Shrinkage
Type Metal Tin Antimony Lead Hardness Linear, %
Linotype 4 12 84 18 .65
Monotype 9 19 72 26 .65
Lead -- -- 100 5 1.13
Tin 100 -- -- 7 .90
Antimony -- 100 -- 50 .47
As an example: the solidification of a nominally .357" diameter bullet cast of Linotype could be expected from the above table to be .0065 X .357" = .0025". In a soft alloy of lead and tin, .01 X .357" = .0035".
Shrinkage - Bullet Diameter, Inches
Alloy .308 .357 .452
Linotype .002 .0025 .003
Lyman # 2 .0025 .0025 .0035
Soft Lead .0035 .004 .005
From the above two tables it can be seen that the softer the alloy and the larger diameter the bullet that more shrinkage will occur.
