Yup I do too ,well maybe 2 as it ain"t to big here but think about the statement . If you got to work a alloy with the patch ,the patch goes south along with accuracy if it is hard . The patch does fill the groove but again the lead has to be soft otherwise you get torn patches . You can make anything work but it doesn't mean your hard alloy will not damage your patch As far as other guys using it is like recommending bore butter for patch lube/paraffin or boiling water down the tube for shooting /cleaning . It isn"t hard to prove shoot a bunch with soft /different diameter /different lubes , it involves trigger time (a good thing) and examine patches then do the same with any alloy of your choice .You will find again (for sure ) the mold your casting were meant for pure LEAD not any alloy brass or whatever you find .Increase the BHN and it will lessen weight and increase diameter ,if thats your goal great but nope it aint mine and shooting soft get you expansion not a pencil hole thru and thru at round ball yardage again easy to prove on game . I do know some guys that come home saying a perfect shot /broadside ect but no blood trail just some hair /Ed
