Thing I'll be dealing with is leading if I use a soft alloy. Any opinions on how hard the bullet needs to be?
It's for use in a 38" long molychrome barrel, square groove rifling 1:20 twist with velocities in the 1350fps range.
I was thinking of starting real hard, maybe 15 BHN and add pure lead to drop the hardness as I go. I have dealt with heavy leading in barrels before, though not MLs, and it's something I'd as lief avoid doing again.
