Jim.

The slicks and greasers shorten some more or less depending on how hard the alloy is. Slicks like the one above with that particular nose profile I usually cast at 1/18 L/T and at 1/20 or even 1/25 if I mix a little antimony in it , this will hold the nose profile in good shape and still upset very good for the lands to get a good grip and seal the bore.
The GG Money you will get along good with 1/20 but yes they will shorten some also.

The bullet in the photo .080" shorter with the 1/40 L/T mix.
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
