The guy at the local scrap yard, said he had a 30 gal barrel of small pieces of lead mixed with tin and a small amount of tungsten. Can this be cast in to bullets or used to harden pure lead. He said it came from a bullet making place, and wants $3.00 a pound does this sound right?
If max case length for 223 is 1.760, and trim length is 1.750, do you have to trim the cases if they are 1.760 or less? I would think you don't have to trim to 1.750. Been reloading pistol for about 15 years but rifle is new to me. I never had to trim pistol.
If you use Hoppe's # 9 solvent, to remove lead from the barrel, how long would you leave it in the barrel? I going to plug the barrel and pour it in and let it set. Just wondering how long to let it set.
If you have a 100gr RN bullet, and all you can find is data for a 95gr RN, and 115gr RN. Which of these is safe to use? This is not the case but I was just wondering.
I seen on Lee's site that their slug mold should use only pure lead. My questions is how hard should #oo buck and slugs be, or should they be pure lead. If you are using wadding anyway does it really matter?
