Looking through the calculator for BHN 20 rifle bullets, 2 pounds of pewter to 4 pounds range scrap will get me there. My concern is will the bullets be to brittle or any other issues I need to be aware of?
I will be powder coating the rounds and gas checking them, under a load of 17.5 grains of H4198 in an AR 1/8 twist with a 16" barrel.
The first two I hit with a hammer once, the last one I pounded on several times to see if it would shatter.
These were water quenched and will be water quenched after powder coating.
Notice the odd coloration of gray and bright silver?
