I saw someone post on FB that they had poured a “soft point hardcast” boolit. There were several that questioned that statement, to which he replied:
Ive never heard of such a thing, and my initial thoughts would be that this would either:Lee mold 200 grain mould. Put 80 grains soft lead in mold, let cool until hard then fill rest with hard lead. Let cool, heat mold up until sprue is liquid. Then let cool again. Found it online.
1) immediately allow the soft lead and hard lead alloy to mix
Or
2) if not heated enough for that to happen, make a weak boolit that would separate when fired
I didn’t question his claim on FB, because I simply don’t have enough experience with casting boolits to completely refute this claim. But this just doesn’t seem feasible to me. I’m also not the type to call him out on this in public, so this question is more for my knowledge only.
Am I off base in this thinking, and this is actually possible, or are my initial thoughts accurate?
All the best,
Glenn
