I have the Lee 120gn TC boolit mold that I cast for my 9mm. The boolit drops about 125 to 130gn. For a velocity of roughly 1050fps, what alloy would you recommend? I would like to have an alloy that will expand for personal defense.
I don't want to use a hollow point, nor do I want to use jacketed bullets. I don't have a way to test penetration, so I am hoping that someone here has already done that.
I have roofing lead (pure lead), pewter, cable lead (about 10bhn), coww, and magnum shot to work with.
What do you suggest?
Thanks!
Glenn
