All bullets made from alloy are lighter than pure lead because of the density differences. A lead bullet will be shorter because it is heavier. A mono-metal bullet must be longer to weigh the same. If it is too long, it must be made shorter, even though it weighs less. That is just the reality of give-and-take that goes on when attributes are exchanged for what is actually able to be accomplished.
Speer used to make THE most excellent Dangerous Game Boolit.
THE AFRICAN GRAND SLAM...Heavy for its size. Allowing for lots
of room for powder.. These had a TUNGSTEN insert in them. Much
denser than lead.. Same density as GOLD.. No longer produced..
l think dropped when Speer got eaten by Vista 0utdoors...
