hello;
thanks for all input to my first question.
never had leading issues with cast bullets with the alloy i used for cast bullets in the past.
now have a leading issue. these 9mm bullets are made of an unknow alloy, purchased at an estate sale.
today used a lube that worked with cast bullets in 30/30 and 308win. also used a "thick" coat of lla/jpw. fired @40 bullets with each lube. still got bad leading,
from back to front of barrel. using 3.5 grains of bullseye. very, very accurate load.
bullets were lubed and sized bullets to .357", as in the past.
if the alloy, (the bullets) are too "soft", even with a good lube, is leading possible???
there is a metal container that fruit cakes come in at x'mas tme. got 6 of these containers full with 9mm bullets from estate sale. so we have lots of 9mm bullets of an unknown alloy.
thanks for any input.
