i just started casting these, the mold says 375 gr. bullet weight and i casted my first batch and had 380 to 390 with the majority being 387 and 388. the majority of the material to make them is kinda a mystery being ww, and lead from pulled bullets and and what i bought off ebay.
i remelted them with some tin solder rated at 99%, only a small amout compared to the lead amount and some of the bullets i weighed out range from 381 to 386.
my 2 questions are, are these safe to shoot with the 375 load data? or do i need to find more tin to acheive the 375 weight. the lyman manual i bought only list this for cast bullets.
also, if they are safe to shoot, can it be loaded at the minimum or mid range?
apreciate the help on this.
