MountainDevil,

How much wheelweight lead did you mix in? A friend of mine cast some 320 reals and some 370 maxi's once with ww lead added and they were a b@$tard to get started. He probably used too much, I won't even use them in my guns. I do like the REAL bullet though. They shoot very good in some of my rifles. That's a nice lookin' rifle you have there.

only 2 WW's that were 3" long. Not much but it helped harden the pure lead in a hurry. Loading was no problem, I just used my ramrod as always.

Pure lead will expand better into the rifling when fired.
