Lead alloy for pistol bullets that will be PC'd
I tried the search and did not find my answer, and went back 10 pages and still did not find what I'm looking for.
For many years I have cast WWM + 1% tin for all my pistol bullets. I have been happy with that. only in 357 mag and 38 Super do I even water drop them. But now I want to try powder coating .
I have a good supply of both soft lead and WWM. With the PC coating can I mix the two and extend my supply of WWM? Or should I stick with the WWM and when its gone start mixing Roto Metals "Chips" to duplicate the WWM?
I'm shooting 45 acp, 45 colt, 357, 38 super, 38 spl, and 9mm,. I would like to use the same alloy for all of them. What do you all think?
Only the 357 and 38 Super get pushed over 1200 fps.
Will a softer alloy get the job done with PC? or stick to what I know works and PC them? Thanks DR
