Does,casting with soft lead fill out mold better?I have a Win 44-40 mold that cast a 426.5 bullet with WW's and I'am getting some leading with this size.All the other cast bullets I've used were .427 and no leading with the larger size.Help! :?

Adding a little tin will likely help the mould fill out better, as will raising the temperature a little.

A little bit larger should lead the bore less too.
