Here are the alloys I have been using for a while.
I would appreciate any and all comments on improvements or mistakes I have made in my calculations.

Thanks,

[smilie=1:I don't know how scientific my mixes are but they seem to work for silhouette for me. Air cooled WW +1% tin for 38spl ,357,44, Water Quenched WW +1% for 375 JDJ,357 herret , 458 Lott. Water Quenched WW + 2% for 30/06, 30/30, 30 Herret 7 US, and they seem to do the trick I do use GC boolits in the 30, 357 Herrets and 30/30 , /06 but every thing else is flat plain based . My absolute lack of ability to get or cheapness to buy lino hasn't affected my scores . I think that the boolit design and lube and orientation of the relationship to the throat is far more important than the alloy . JMHO James
