I tried my Lee hardness tester to day. I cast some 30cal bullets last week and wanted to find out just how hard they were. The instruction for the Lee tester say to file a flat spot on one of the bullets. I kept a spuse from the batch and used it to test the hardness. I was thinking that maybe the spuse hardness maybe different from the bullets, so I also tested one of the bullets. They were the same.
I wrote the hardness number on the spuse and out it in the box with the bullets to keep track.
Were the bullets sized?
Good enough then!
You didn't tell us much. How hard were they, and was it simple or not to use the tester?
The very young do not always do as they are told.
