I have a friend who shoots 22 rimfire competition. He practices at his residence and uses a bullet trap to stop the boolits…
He literally has ½ dozen or more coffee cans full of the recovered lead…
I melted some of it and poured it into Lee ingots. I was thinking this lead would be fairly soft…
When dropping an ingot from a few inches above my garage floor, it makes a distinct “ring” as compared to the “thud” from a pure lead ingot…
It seem seems these 22 rimfire boolits might be harder than I thought…
Anyone know what BHN rimfire lead might be?...
Thanks…BCB
