Now, this might be the wrong spot/forum to ask this, if so let me know and I'll re-post if you can't move things about. Did a little searching and didn't find this question anywhere. That could just be me though. This place has SOO much buried treasure that isn't in stickys.
I've recently come into a small (100 lbs) pile of pure lead so figured it would be a good time to ask this.
I'd like to move into Powder Coating my boolits. I'm wondering if this would allow me to move into using less hard alloys or even near pure lead? At least for pistols at first. If that IS the case, I'm curious how soft an alloy one can let things get to with PC, for rifles.
Historically I've had to use some fairly normal "hard" alloys with my rifles. But not as hard as I've seen some young folks using for the AR. But none of my old .30 cal+ children move things quite that fast.
Thoughts?
