[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2970864, member: 75451"] I use "plain old" wheel weights, which are primarily lead, tin, and antimony! As cast they go around 12 to 15 hardness. If I decide to "quench" them to temper them, I can easily exceed 20. Those that are "tempered", gas checked, and with a good lube can be pushed well over 2000 mv……with no leading. With my powder coated, and gas checked, I'm running 430 grain, wide metplat bullets @1800 (+/-) mv…..while getting 1" to 1 1/4" 5 shot groups @ 100, with a 4x scope. Could probably tighten that a bit, with some experimentation and a higher power scope! Running 400 grain, powder coated, gas checked from my 8 3/8" S&W 460 to 1500 mv. With a 2 moa red dot, I've gotten quite a few sub 3", 4 shot groups @ 100 yards. Using a 2 moa red dot…..I figure that's as good as I'm likely to do! As 150 yards is my maximum intended use on big game…..I'm calling it good! No signs of leading or excessive fouling with anything listed! memtb [/QUOTE]
