Folks,
I've bee bitten by the bug, and I'm looking forward to casting a bunch of hollowpoint bullets for my Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70. These will certainly be hunting bullets primarily for deer and an occasional hog or two.
What are you suggestions for an appropriate alloy for this mold, and what velocities do you suggest in loading for said alloy.
Lastly, I'm considering getting a HP mold for my 1911 .45...would you suggest the same alloy for this application (plinking, handgun hunting, and the like).
Best Regards
Surfdog
