Look for Linotype, it makes brilliant bullets. Check with newspaper
printers and ask them how they dispose of their waste, you won't
regret it. The bullets will typically cast about 8% lighter than pure
lead. They can be used to 1800FPS without gas checks and not cause
barrel leading. If I remember correctly, lead is around 9 or 10 on the
Brinnel scale and Linotype is about 28/29, which is considerably
harder. Linotype bullets are much better penetrators and do not
deflect off window glass like lead bullets do. Don't ask how I know that.

The more I cast, the more I learn.
very interesting and goes against my preconceptions that hard lead
bullets lead the barrel less.
