Gentlemen, I am new to the board but like the info and atmosphere available here.
I am going to get back into bullet casting after several years absence. I have all the equipment except lead and lube.
I want to cast some Keith Style Plane Based semi wad cutters for my .357-.41-.44 magnums.
Powder will be 2400
Speed will be 1150 to 1250 FPS
I will be getting my alloy from Rotometals inc.
http://www.rotometals.com/Bullet-Casting-Alloys-s/5.htm
What alloy from this company would suit my needs best?
What properties of the recommended alloy are you looking at to make the recommendation?
What lube would you suggest.
The Revolvers are S&W's and two Rugers (Redhawk and super Blackhawk)
The next alloy question is for a 45 Long Colt Keith Style Semi Wad cutter.
Powder will be Unique
Speed will be around 900 FPS
Revolvers are S&W and Ruger Blackhawk
Same questions.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Hank
