Some points to consider

I cast my wadcutters with range lead cut with pure lead - equal amounts. I drop into water and size to .358" in a Star Lubesizer. The go through easily.

I cast mine from range lead (quite hard) and pure lead - 2/3 pure to 1/3 range. They work well in my Marlin underlever from 38 spl brass.

I just got a G11 and the dies arrived today. I'll give the load a try with the NOE boolit.
