    My first thought was that the powder had somehow become moist. I live in a dry climate, have used Bullseye for 50 years, and never seen what you describe.

    I use pure soft lead for mine, and I have never had a separation problem up to 3500 FPS. My concern with using a harder alloy is damaging the swaging dies.

    What's wrong with WC 820?
