410 grain mold dropping 365 grain bullets using lead & Linotype Why?
Hard to say with the details provided. Could be your alloy is lighter than the alloy the manufacturer designed to. Could be the manufacturer didn’t make a mold that drops the stated weight. Could be poor casting technique.
Dealt with this before. Start with pure lead. Then add a little bit of lineotype To your pot. The harder lead weighs less.Quote:

Wartrail,
welcome to the forum.
If the mold was designed and rated for pure lead (ie muzzleloader conicals), then it will cast lighter with an alloy that contains a good portion of Linotype.
