PLease excuse my ignorance..some of these questions are classic newb questions..but hey If ya don't know then ya don't know.
First,,Do you have to use gas checks on 9mm cast boolits OR can I use plain lead cast boolits only?
Second,,To harden plain lead do you add tin? or what do you add..What percentage ?
Third,,In what cases would I need to use harder lead?
I do have knowledge of the process of melting wheel weights and range lead..cleaning it and pouring it in to molds..I also have been casting maxi balls for my .50 cal muzzleloader with good success.
I am currently looking to buy a .356 round nose mold for my 9mm..which brings me to my next question....
What grain mold would you recommend?
When I cast boolits for my 9mm what type lube should I use when running them thru the sizer/luber?
Thanks in advance folks..Mike
