I no longer have access to a BHT but I found out something just as good for bullets.
I found that if I use my thumbnail (Thumbnail is Mohs hardness scale is 2.5 Vs. pencil lead @ 1.0 on same scale) works pretty darn good... it's always "handy" and it NEVER gets lost . I've "tested" a lot of cast bullets I did not cast and would not buy them. My home made cast bullets are plenty hard enough.
I wish someone with a BH tester would compare it to their thumbnail and a pencil!
