I'm a new guy to cast boolits, getting ready to cast my first batch of .30 caliber 127-grain plain-base bullets to use in 30-06 over maybe 10 gr Unique or Red Dot. This is the NOE bullet:
I bought a bunch of different alloys (and "super hard" for alloying) from Rotometals, but I'm not sure what alloy to use for this.
It'll just be for our local 100-yd walk-and-paste matches so I'm looking for something subsonic, and the bullets won't have gas checks, so I want something that won't erode too bad at the base/heel, I guess. And I suspect they'll be jumping a fair distance in my old Colombian FN M98 before they engage the throat.
Can anyone recommend an alloy for this? (Sorry if this is a really basic question, but the amount of info out there is almost too much to sift through, it seems like sometimes.)
Thanks in advance.
