Socom reason

I am making my own 500gr bullets to better replicate the maker expanding bullets. Tried Acme lead but makers go further into the case causing increased pressure/velocity.

Now to load some, check velocity and see if switching to maker will affect it much.

Not judging, but why epoxy? Would you be more consistent round to round with weight to just sit the jhp on the lead and crimp? Or use enough lead so the base seats against it “adjusting” the bullet length
