Hey All,
New to casting, and while I think I've found the answer to my question in other posts, I just wanted to make sure I had things right in my head before I start doing this.
I've got a shipment of COWW lead coming from TheCaptain and she's claiming it's around 12-14 BHN. I've noticed a lot of guys saying they add 2% tin to their COWWs before they cast them up, I'm assuming to help with fill out and add a little hardness.
I'm planning on using this mainly for 9mm with powder coated boolits. Nothing too hot, just enough to make PF for the local matches and practice, so right around 900 fps max. I'm concerned about leading, so do I need to worry about adding in the tin for this, or could I get away with casting the COWWs as they are?
I gotta say there's so much great info on this site, but sometimes there's SO MUCH great info it can start to get you turned around and confused
