Alloy vs bullet size

Softer metal makes smaller bullets; correct? Just got another NEI mould (my third; and I love them!) that is marked 358 169 It's a fat nosed SWC-GC. Cast some last night out of 20:1 and they are coming out of the mould at 179Gr and .362. Sizing them to .359, you almost eliminate the cromping groove. I like the looks of the mould and want to keep it around, but amo not very happy with it at this point. Going to try some tomorrow and see how they shoot out of the 5" Highway Patrolman I guess if they shoot, it's a moot point....
