    Casting and testing hardness

    I mixed the the bits of left over sheet lead and the little bit of wheel weights I had to make some water quenched Lee 200 gr. SWCs. I got readings between 70-80, about 10-12 Brinell. I compared 3 of my Lyman 525 gr. slugs and got 60-66, about 8-9 Brinell.


    I made a small batch of SWC out of the soft lead for powder coating. 5.0 gr Titegroup and I will attempt to get a picture of the barrel before and after. Good times.
