Hello everyone,
I have the Lee 124GR round-nose 9mm mold and the Lee 230GR round-nose .45ACP mold.
I have quite a bit of pure lead which I have tested with pencils to be in the 4-6 BHN.
I like reloading with Titegroup for 9mm and .45ACP
I'm not opposed to powder coating, but will probably start with Alox for now.
What should I add to my pure lead for a starting alloy? Whatever I add I will probably have to buy from Rotometals because I don't have access to linotype or wheel weights, etc, unless I get lucky and find it online. I've heard I should aim for about 10BHN when loading 9mm and .45?
I'm just looking for a starting point on my alloy. I can experiment with dropping in cold water, powder coating, slugging, sizing, later. I'd just like to get some boolits made so I can start somewhere. Thanks.
