What alloy drops bigger from mould than COWW?

Here are two 30-30 molds and the cherries. New blocks.jpg Notice the thick stainless sprue plate I make. A countersink will not cut the tapers, have to cut on the lathe.
If you attempt it, you will warp a cherry fast when you harden them. I found to put them in the drill press chuck to heat, spin until cherry red, stop the press and open the chuck so they drop straight in oil. I temper in the kitchen oven.
