Default Is my math right?

I am loading some 10 gauge shells with bizmuth #1 shot. I want to load 1 3/8 ounces to use on geese. According to my math that equals about 602 grains. I weighed this out and poured it into an old fashioned powder - shot measure. When I adjusted the cup so the shot was level with the mouth it was sitting on the 2oz marker for lead. Does that seem right? By volume, is 2 oz of bizmuth equivalent to 1 3/8 oz of lead?
