CZ,
The 1.52:1 ratio was by weight as that is how casting is done, but you are right that the problem has to be solved by volume given what we had to work with. I'm happy with my math.

But the copper peg issue kills it and if the bullets are not cast in the same mould or die, then this all becomes even more pointless. Subtle differences that are very hard to detect via "hairy eyeball" can make huge differences in final weight of the bullet.
