Hello from upstate NY..... I'm getting into casting for my Ruger SBH .44mag which I slugged and came up with .431 cyl throats, .4305 bore and .430muzzle. Rather than try to figure out a mixture, I thought I'd use RotoMetals hardball. They say it's a 16bhn. Now, I'm going to be using Lyman's 429421 mold and try and duplicate Elmer Keith's load with Alliant 2400. My questions are.... will a bullet with a 16bhn be good for hunting applications? How fast will I be able to run this bullet without leading? Would I need to use gas checks? What size mold should I be ordering? Thanks!
