Effects of various alloys on diameter.

[Youngtimer]

Can someone refresh my memory??? Many years ago I read an article about adding various alloys to the melt and the effect it has on the as cast finished diameter of boolits. I pretty sure I read this before the dawn of the computer age so it must be in some of the books or magazines I have but I cannot find it. Or is there maybe something newer available on the topic????

This is some great info. Thank you.

You're most welcome, yt! Also, Lyman's old "Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd Ed." has a section & chart of predicted dimensions [of CB's] using various alloys and metals, e.g., Lyman #2 and pure lead.
