For my gas checked 45-70 bullets, really for all but muzzleloaders, I cast with either wheel weight or W-W+2. The results are relatively hard bullets that withstand any velocity I choose.
I'm curious about how soft these 405-, 420-, and 425-grain LFN GC bullets can be cast while retaining their ability to be propelled at 1750-2000 fps (depending upon which weight I choose).
Does alloy make a difference in how leading-free a soft bullet will shoot? For example, bullets made of 10:1 lead:tin drop at about BHN 14. I know of no one, even friends who shoot BPCR matches or who muzzle load for ridiculously large game, who cast projectiles with such high proportion of tin.
