Hello All,
This will be my first time at casting boolits and I would appreciate feedback regarding the alloys I plan to order. I have considered ordering from TheCaptain, however, I expect I would have to add lead, tin, antimony to adjust to the hardness I need (unless others tell me different?) My thinking is to order alloy from Rotometals so I can focus on casting and not having to remix the alloy to the appropriate BHP. Once I get casting experience I will then be more comfortable mixing the alloy to get the appropriate BHP.
With that I plan to order the following:
I believe for 38 special I need a BHP of 10 (11 after water quench) which would be 1 to 20? For 9mm I could use Hardball or Lyman #2 which is 16 (17 after water quench)? For flux I will stop by Home Depot and pick up some sawdust as I understand that is the best flux to use?
Feedback appreciated.
