The alloy will make a difference in the weight and SIZE of the boolits that come out of your mould. Harder and lighter also equals bigger. Softer is harder and will be smaller. The spread for this is maybe .002" in diameter. If you have a gun that needs bigger boolits, you can adjust your alloy to a point. If you try to push too hard a boolit too light, bad things can happen if it barely fits.

Softer is harder?????????????????


Nope. Hard alloy(Linotype for example) gets more "spring back" than softer alloy, and will grow by about .001 per bullet with time.

Softer cast bullets will weigh more than hard cast bullets in the same mold(S). "Spring back" will be almost nonexistant.

"Softer will be harder"......Nope ?????????????????????????.

"Harder and lighter" will be bigger? No, it all depends on the content of the bullet alloy. The weight of the bullet has absolutely NOTHING to do with regard to hardness and the size of the bullet, unless you change the alloy content.
