I've been making 235gr TC bullets for .45acp but a friend has a .454 Casull. They are made from pretty soft alloy(pretty much wheel weights) but ARE water quenched. Do you guys think these boolits would do okay in his gun? Would they be hard enough?

They would work for lighter loads. Without a crimp groove you will need to crimp the brass into the front drive band also having very little boolit body for case tension you will also be needing to load with a powder that ignites easily. Definitely not the best choice of boolit however with mouse fart loads it could work. I don't know about accuracy though but they will go bang.
