I have just about used up my supply of linotype mixed bullets for my .500 S&W Mag. I have cast them and water dropped them. 440gr. LEE FNGC bullets.
Then, I've sized and lubed them with White Label X-lox 2500 on my RCBS LAMII and then seated a gas check. No leading in these loads pushed to 1100-1200fps + with my various loads of Blue Dot and AA# 9. Certainly, not the top end on these loads.
Could I save a little on not getting more linotype and just use my supply of wheel weights when I cast up my next batch for my .500 since this is a high speed lube used for cast rifle rounds, along with using gas checks?
Anything beyond this fps and I think I will go back to linotype or jacketed bullets.
