    I don't have a lot of posts here, but I easily have 40,000 plus posts on boards around the net. I don't "nose pick" as my 7th grade teacher called it. That might be related.

    Brinell Testing?

    How do you find out the Brinell hardness number of your bullets/lead/etc? I should add... without paying hundreds or thousands for the machines I've seen?
