I want to cast lead boolits for my Blackout.
The subs will be 230g may follow a more detailed blend, but can I use pure wheel weights, no blending of lead The supers will be 130g-----can I/ should I use pure wheel weights for extra hardness? |

That chart is incorrect. The wheel weight hardness part is anyway. My wheelweight ingots are much harder than my 20/1 mix ingots. When shot from my 45/70 Guide Gun the 20/1 bullets mushroom (gas check is attached) and the Wheelweight bullets deform very little (some gas checks are missing). That tells me my wheel weight bullets are much harder |

"Fit is king" very true. Which is one reason why the Blackout chamber is cut larger at neck than the .300 Whisper. I feel that the case neck sizer button needs to be machined larger for cast bullets. So that cases will accept a .001" larger diameter cast bullet without crushing bullet diameter of softer cast bullets. .... |
