Will boolits cast with Lyman# 2 get bigger after being sized within a couple hours of being cast?

they could.
springback to lead does occur.
i have found that the closer to the time they are poured the more springback you get.
i have only had about 1 thou occur in the few i have measured, but they were with a softer alloy.
i have seen boolits grow after a few days of being poured without sizing too.

The #2 probably won't be too bad to grow. I'm thinking maybe 2 or 3 tenths ( 1/10,000th ) at most.
