I know this has nothing to do with paper patch bullets,so please forgive me.I wasn't sure where to post it..

I am courious as to what alloy one shouls be using in their bullets with smokeless
to possibly prevent leading..I haven't tried much testing on this matter...

So if anyone feels like sharing some information with me I would appreciate it...Who knows I might give it a try as well...Thanks for the support...CK45[smilie=b:

I use clip on WWs. But then I do paper patch.

For lubed/sized using smokeless I use WW + tin and heat treat/age before using. For PP I use 50/50 WW and range lead. Zero leading with either. The lead loads are around 1,250 fps and the PP are closing in on 1,600 fps with a 520 gr. bullet.
