[QUOTE="slewis12, post: 1106963, member: 81211"] I was told by a gentleman at nosler during a ammo issue with a 30-378weatherby whole other story for that he explained that in most cases that a slight variation in the metallurgy of the core material can achieve similar softness as pure lead and change the weight as long as the cooling process is controlled assuming smoke wasnt getting blow up my butt I do know this Is true If you heat a steel rod and cool it with water it releases carbon which than makes steel softer now heat another steel rod and this time quench it cool with use motor oil it will then draw in carbon from the oil thus creating a simple temper as a mining equipment engineer I have done the latter to harden a dressed punch or chisel to get it so the tip doesnt deform as fast its quite amazing the what a little heat and a controlled cool process can do to metal to achieve a desired effect even with lead I will try a experiment of my own and see what I come up with using lead and nickel or what ever I can get my hands on as lead is very dense material and nickel is less dense if I remember correctly but still fairly soft as well [/QUOTE]
