The boolit is a 209ish .452 for 45 Automatic. Mould is the MP with penta pins. Sloppy batch powdercoated.
The load is 6.8gr of Power Pistol with a COL of 1.190. Please load according to your manual, not my post.
Test weapon is a Sig Sauer P220 Compact.
Media was water jugs. The first jug was a 1lb Power Pistol jug. It's harder than a milk jug and the top screws on tight. Second jug was a typical milk jug. The boolit went through the first one popping the top while staying threaded. Second jug had a full pass through but not enough energy to get into the third. It lay on the bench.
Hardness is below the Lee scale but I would estimate it about a 7. I used 50% range scrap and 50% pure lead. Pretty darn soft. I fired three mags with no malfunctions. I'd like to shoot more but primers...
Weight retention is 100%.
Expansion is 0.8640".
