    Pure lead and superhard

    I have some straight lead, and I bought some super hard. We're talking about a 20lb pot load.

    Ok, ok, I'm being a bit lazy, but I'm just not up to the full site search for this.
    I load .44, .38, 9mm.
    I mostly use Hi-tek for lube.
    I just need a basic ratio for all purpose rounds.
    Please don't yell at me!

    Is the super hard from Rotometals with a composition of 70% Lead and 30% antimony? What hardness level are you looking for? At what velocities?

    Anywhere from 4:1 to 6:1 pure:superhard
    4:1 would be around 14bhn
    5:1 would be around 13bhn
    6:1 would be around 12bhn

    10lb pure + 1.9lb Superhard = 10BHN
    10lb pure + 2.9lb Superhard = 12BHN (good for 9, 38, 45)
    10lb pure + 4.1lb Superhard = 14BHN
    10lb pure + 5.5lb Superhard = 16BHN

    Don't forget the 2% tin .
