I would like to settle down to one alloy that would be used for multiple cartridges. They range from the 22's to the 35 Rem, but I want to be specific about buying a quantity of casting alloy that will do the job on Midwest whitetails using my 35 Remington Marlin.
Could anyone recommend a specific casting alloy or at least the percentage of lead, antimony, tin? Maybe just the Lyman #2?
Velocity will be assumed to be about 1,500 to 1,700 fps.
I guess I have the same question about lubes. I have a heater on my sizer but I prefer soft rather than hard lube. My loading process goes from being lubed to being seated in a case pretty quickly.
I was looking at the Lyman Ideal for that. What do you think of that idea.
Thanks for the help, Bill.
