[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1256556"] The copper clad are tumbled in stainless ball bearings of 3 sizes. These were washed in Alcohol prior to use. The lead is tumbled in steel shot from some shotgun shells. You make me think that the lead cast bullets might be better tumbled in lead shot. I'll have to give that a try. The most fun bullet is for my 45-70 Falling block "buffalo rifle". The bullet is cast from the Lee 500 grain mold [url]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/214596/lee-2-cavity-bullet-mold-459-500-3r-45-70-government-459-diameter-500-grain-pointed-round-nose[/url] that I machined down to be a 400 grain. The goal is the Buffalo at the NRA Whitington Center in Raton, NM [/QUOTE]
