Idaho Ron said:When I make bullets I don't want something that just goes bang. I want accuracy with my rifles that is under 2" groups at 100 yards, and I try to get 1" groups. I can't get that with scrap lead. You never know how hard it is. Each type pours a different weight. Each different type is a little different hardness and they harder bullets don't go down very good.

I shoot competitively, and so do 6 or 8 other guys in my club and we ALL buy salvaged lead and cast our own... :shake:

Idaho Ron said:I have never went as far as weighing the powder. I might have to see what happens. If I did it I would use my powder measure to see what it throws. Then use the scale to match it every time, Sounds interesting.
Pulaski, I tried to get lead form local plumbing companies. The women I talked to acted as if I was talking in tongues. They didn't know anything about lead for plumbing. Ron
