Default RE: casting

Go to a tire shop and get a few pounds of wheel weight's. If they do not want to give you any just tell the guy you want a few. They will give you a few. I use WW in my MZ's. Alot of people say you have to use pure lead in a MZ, I do not buy that, I use WW in my MZ's all the time.

I have asked alot of people why WW can not be used. I have never gotten a GOOD answer. The best answer they could offer up was that WW will not obturate at MZ velocities. If that were true then how would a BPCR bullet obturate at BPCR velocities?? A few other's have said the lead was too hard for the soft steel. That may be true fo a MZ that s 100 years old, but not a modern MZ. Tom.
