Assuming your having good success with little expansion the alloy could be quite hard?
Thanks

at the moment 25% wheelweights / 75% pure lead

ramble alert.

i dont look or plan for expansion with cast bullets anymore, its a deadend road to me . . . the question is why i wouldnt want expansion when it sems to be a mantra to so many shooters

the easy/quick answer is its not worth the effort and the choices you end up making to get it for the animals i target at the ranges i want to shoot out to. . . better to rely on more reliable/repeatable performance with good bullet design, accurate bullet placement . . . thats the direction i am travel in, so far its working OK and i plan to run with it for awhile longer and see where it goes.
