Loaded question.
Playing around with mixing pure lead on the alloy calculator and wondering if there is a one size fits all mix that I can use (yeah right). I am powder coating my bullets. For pistols I am shooting 95gr 380, 134gr 9mm 230gr 45acp and I'm pushing them pretty hard. For rifles, I'm currently only casting 230gr .308 for subsonic 300aac but I haven't even loaded any yet. I see a lever rifle in my future so I plan on loading for full speed rifle 357, 44mag, 30-30, 45-70 eventually. Down the road I may cast some slugs, who knows. This really is addictive.
So what BHN should I be looking for:
semiauto pistol
subsonic 300aac
full speed rifle
I assume I need to keep the tin-antimony mix close to equal or say 1% less tin than antimony. Is there alloy where I can air cool for pistol and water drop to get desired BHN for rifle?
