I have searched and searched and read the books recommended for casting but they all are geared towards pistol. I need to try to find out what the recommended BHN is for rifle bullets. My specific bullets are .30 cal. 115 gr. up to 200.gr for the 30-30 and the 30-06 Springfield 93A3 and Garand. I have dead soft lead and I have linotype although my testing on the linotype does not come back to 22 BHN as I see stated in many places, I am getting around 18 BHN and these were factory linotype pigs. I used to work in the printing industry and ran a linotype machine occasionally so I am well aware of what they are. No matter, I am looking for what I should aim for in my alloy, if I need to buy super hard from Rotometals I will and mix it in. I want to get all the lead I have consolidated down to two batches, one for pistol and one for rifle. So any help or references to printed matter would be greatly appreciated.
