Have about 50+ lbs of chilled shot I am not going to load into shotshells.
Have about 200 lbs WW. Getting ready to get started casting. Mainly for 45 ACP - 200 grn at about 800-900 fps. Assuming I can use straight WW and be fine.
But also have a 44 Spc/Mag. Want a lite load for the Spc and a soft enough load with the Mag to hunt deer with. 44 Mag will be a Keith bullet. Don't want to use Linotype - too expensive and assume to hard to hunt with. Not going to push it to max velocity.
What would the mix be with the WW/shot to get about 15-17 BHN cast for the 44 Mag? Want the mix to be hard enough not to lead, but sof enough not to break up on bone.
All help and advice is appreciated. Thanx
Steve
