I got my hands on an old roof flashing that is soft as butter that I want to use for the nose of some soft nosed boolits. I have the lee 158gr Flat nosed boolit and I purchased a lee .350 round ball mould. That comes out to approximately 64 grains of lead nose. That is around 40% of the weight for the soft lead. I have read most of the articles on making soft nosed boolits and I think I have a technique figured out. I am going to heat the mould with a hot plate, drop a soft lead ball in each cavity and let them melt, fill the rest of the cavity with WW and either water drop or air cool. Which should I do? I plan on testing these for use on IL Whitetails this fall. Any Tips or Tricks I should know about?
