We're setting up a BHN test, have 8 volunteers and need at least 5 more.
Here's the plan:
Testers tell me how many bullets they need.
I'll cast Jan 1, mail bullets Jan 2.
Each tester tests BHN on 5 samples each Sunday, 1/8, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29 for a total of 20 BHN tests. Each Sunhday, e-mails me the results.
About the 30th we publish the results, and should know something about testing, testers and how BHN varies in time.
If you're willing and able, send me your name, address, and how many bullets you need for this test series.
Thanks;
joe b.

What alloy are you going to use, are they going to be water droped or air cooled.You will need to cast at least a 35 cal wad cutter.Air cooled will test different at the base than the nose.

Be carefull Dye

Hi Joeb,

Since heat treating has been one of my main area of testing for many years and I beleive that variations in testers, and not nearly as much a varaition wheel weight alloy is the biggest difference, I would be happy to participate. The results should be fascinating.

Email to follow.
