Good day gentlemen.
Years ago I used to mix monotype to WW after I cleaned WW, it was not the best idea but at least I marked the % on the final ingots. I mixed in 10,20 and 30% of mono.
Here is my typical hard alloy, about 18 BHN:
Now, I want to make a short range whitetail bullet, 470 grain WFN 45-70. I also have pure lead from air rifle pellet traps.
My question:
How many % of that high antimony hard alloy would you mix with pure for a "dropper" whitetail bullet? I know I could make the soft nose separately but let's not go into that technique here. I could use a Speer 400 as well,I have shot a few moose with it and it works but... I want to try cast now. Waste shoulders if needed,I need to stop them.
This would be for a location where an instant drop is desirable for several reasons like a nearby swamp and hunting area border.
--------
The bullet in question is a Robert Applegate 470 grain bullet which cycles in Marlins.
Thanks for looking.
