[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2193196, member: 109994"] Does increased antimony content in lead alloys not make them more brittle and more likely to fracture? This is stated in I think both Lyman and Lee handloading manuals. The Lee manual talks about how it is pressure, not speed, that limits how much you can push a certain alloy hardness. It is mentioned in numerous places in manuals and by cast bullet manufacturers that 22bhn and higher bullets usually are just for target. [/QUOTE]
