Banger how do you deal with tin and antimony or do you not worry about it once the hardness is right?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I like that and it is simple but comes out harder than I need, when I pump up the pure the tin and antimony drop down, do I add tin and not worry about the antimony?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Not sure I understand all of that, I used the calculator to get the recipe I mentioned. I plan to powder coat.

I have a very good supply of soft lead, that’s great for my muzzleloader, but the kids shoot a lot more 9mm these days.

I checked the charges a half dozen times over loading about 10 shells. They were within a grain or two by weight. Close enough for shot shells. Once I get the spacing figured out I think I will have...

Thanks for the reply!
Change out the bushings is what I ended up doing. I found that the 1.98 bushing got me close, within a few grains. New problem is that that light of load leaves extra space in...
