First of all-skimming the "shiny" stuff does not remove the hard lead. It is not that easy to separate antimony and tin from WW.

Second-you can use WW for bullets. I have shot a lot of deer at 1600 fps from 45-70's, and WW penetrates and expands just fine. There is no problem getting a bullet to go 1600fps or faster in an MZ.

I understand when people say it is harder to load WW over pure lead. The flaw in that argument is that you should be sizing your bullet-just like they size the White Bullet. You need to slug your MZ barrel. Then buy a few different sizers and try different sizes. Any where from a slip fit up through .001 over. You will find an accurate load if you take your time, and do things right. I cast straight WW and I size them, but I do not lube my bullet's. I do not know why I do not lube them-it is just a practice that I got into. I am going to work up a conical load for my new Knight LRH, and I am going to size and lube these bullet's.

The type of lead you use is not what usually causes leading. Leading is normally associated with velocity and barrel condition. You have to make your alloy considerably harder than WW before you limit the leading. Tom.
