I'd like to know what the hardness of the boolit is that you shoot in your 44 and 38 Specials. What shoots well in my Casull doesn't shoot well in my specials. Probably too hard to obturate at the lower pressure. I'm looking for a starting point before I begin testing.
I've already slugged the bores and cylinders and I have the proper sizing dies and molds both plain-base and GC styles. I have a Lee hardness tester that seems to be very consistent once I learned to deal with the microscope. I also have a hundred pounds of pure lead and 50 pounds of Hardball and Superhard from Rotometals so I'm ready to start casting. Suggestions from the experienced casters would be appreciated. Thanks
