So been doing my homework on casting for a few months and jus about ready. Have been reloading for years. I'm all about learning from others before me.
I will be casting for an AR in 300 AA.. 309 155GR mold with gas checks Lyman Orange lube sized to .309.
How hard will I need this lead? Going to push these about 2100fps that should cycle the action. Thinking of using BL-C-2. I have about 10 different powders to work with. Not only this my first casting but my first non jacketed rifle boolit. Also will be water quenching. And what's the deal with time Harding? I read two weeks the lead gets a bit harder what about a year or five years. I know I'm all over the place just a lil excited.
Thanx
