Is there a definitive paper / post / book / article that describes and assesses the use of wheel weights in bullet casting.
I have put in a search but it has only produced a bit here and another bit there. I would really like a complete set of info if it exists :killingpc

Anyone got any ideas - they would be gratefully received.

My initial project is to produce bullets for my new Mauser K98k in 8x60s.

there is some info at www.lasc.us as far as hardness and a few alloy mixes. Not sure what your looking for. There is a section in there that covers pressure vs bullet hardness that might help you.

Veral Smith's book covers cast boolits quite thoroughly, and deals at length with using wheel weights. Here's a link to his site http://www.lbtmoulds.com/. I have read the book through several times since Christmas and have learned quite a bit from it. Hope this helps - good luck.
