What is the group's thoughts about using an antimony, lead and probably tin alloy of unknown composition that is about as hard as Lyman #2 for a .38-40 over 7.2 gr of Unique?
I ask because I normally cast 40:1 for this bullet and charge. And I don't load a lot of smokeless loads in the first place so I'm not really in my element with this one.
the bullet is the RCBS 180 grn flatnose and the gun is a relined vintage 1894 Marlin.
Thanks for all opinions.
