400 pounds of lead sheets, ingots, fishing weights, etc
I think they are all on the purer side of things, they are really soft.
I’m looking to make 45 acp and I tried making some the other day
They feel too soft for 45, I need to add some antimony or lead as I understand
Do I need a hardness tester?
This is a 230 grain mold but I’m getting 239 grains and 242 grains consistently. 3/4 are 239. Is that ok?
Should I quench them?
What imperfections are acceptable? I have some that look like someone indented them with a thumb nail and that’s it. Send it?
How do I know when I’ve made bullets worth shooting?
