Guys,
I just cast up a few hundred boolits with my new RCBS 44-250-K mold. The alloy I used is a 1/20 tin lead. It was mixed using 95% tin/5% antimony solder. I have quite a bunch of this alloy to use up. My primary use for this alloy was intended for 45 ACP & 38SP, but I decided to try some of it in my 44's.
My question is: What velocity can I run this alloy before problems might be encountered? Sloughing etc. They will be sized to .430 (correct fit in my 44's) and lubed with CR. Would this be best suited for light to mid range loads? I do have several hundred pounds of a harder alloy I can use if need be, but I have come to like softer alloys.
Thanks...Shooter
