Default bullet hardness

How soft does a full bore bullet have to be to be able to load in a ML? In other words can you shoot the LBT plane base style bullets out of a ML or would they be too hard to load?

Default RE: bullet hardness

IF YOU USE FULL-DIAMETER bullets, they MUST BE PURE LEAD. If you want to shoot LBT' s (and I have), you must use them undersize and in a sabot. If you use such hard bullets, you MIGHT (probably won' t) be able to load the first one, BUT THE NEXT ONE WILL GET STUCK BEFORE IT IS DOWN ON THE POWDER!! OOPS!!!
