Just getting started in this hobby and want to cast some hunting bullets. I have a 170gr FN and both 160 and 180gr RN molds. All three are GC.
I was planning to shoot the 170 FN out of my '94 30-30 and the 160-180gr out of a 308 and/or a 30-06.
I have WW and linotype.
What should I be trying to achieve for hardness for a good hunting bullet that won't lead up my barrels but will still expand fairly well?
What velocities should I target with my loads?
Thanks for any help you can offer this rookie.
