    Lots of things could be going on
    Have you zeroed your calipers correctly 1st thing

    Mold temp plays a big part
    As does pour speed a slower pour will produce a smaller bullet
    (Not 2 thou though) maybe half a thou
    Maybe try getting your alloy a bit hotter
    And make sure the mold is completely clean if you think it’s clean clean it again
    I don’t believe in smokeing moulds a super clean mold always produces the best bullets for me
