A very informative thread...Thanks Don! I ordered the 40:1 lead from Rotometals thanks to what I learned in this thread.
TeemuI also checked out some of the OEM lead testers, way above my pay scale, for the amount of use it will get. LOLI'll post what I find about the hardness tests, as soon as the pencils get here, which should be today.I am very curious to see the results of the testing, and I'll do all the OEM pellets I have on hand.I know I have some pure lead in the shop somewhere, I just have to find it. I have a couple of 20mm ammo cans full of different lead, from WW to flat sheets, of unknown type/hardness's,that I can test also, so I can get some experience, I hope......More later,Tia,Don
