SS195: Really Dumb Question

[knownalien]

So I pulled a bullet from one of my SS195's. It is supposed to be a 28 gr. bullet. Yet it appears bigger than my M193's which are 55 gr? I am confused. I assumed I would pull the bullet and find this tiny projectile. What am I misunderstanding?

The projectile design.

Both the 55gr and the SS195 are .224 diameter, one just weighs more.

M193 is a lead core round. SS195 is an aluminum core round. So Aluminum is lighter than lead, so you'll need more material, aka longer bullet. It's why a lot of the all copper rounds are really long as well.
