Indoor range .22lr lead for cast hollow point bullets
I'm casting hollow point bullets various calibers using only indoor range lead that is mostly .22lr lead. The bhn is 10 which is close to 20:1. Will this work initially for accuracy testloads before I start alloying the rest of the lead with tin later?
Soft alloys. Problems- Jams, skids, slumps.
Soft bullets may skid as they exit tne muzzle. Slump happens also.
I tested soft lead in a 1911 45acp. The bullet nose deformed from hitting the feed ramp & some stuck there, jamming the gun.
This Colt Gold Cup 70 series has never had a feeding problem, till i tried soft lead.
Only tried soft as a test, because some claimed soft worked perfectly. It does not in my gun.
