I tried a mix of 16lbs of pure lead with a pound of pewter. I was expecting a BH around 11 since that is the receipie posted all over the net but ended up at soft, 7.5.
I see the op is asking if using a 50/50 mix of coww and pure and then using it in 16:1, 20:1, ect. Which makes more sense on how my mix would have climbed to a BH of 11. If this is how it's done it must be a BIG mystery since I asked on several posts what went wrong and had no logical answers...but just to use my alloy.
So was I given the wrong information on how to mix? I was told to use pure lead which obviously didn't work but on the good side it still made a good accurate boolit that shoots sub MOA out of my 77/44 at 1675 fps.
