I have read and undertood ( I might add), Iowegan's explaination of matching Brinell hardness of lead bullets to you CUP. The problem is, I am finding it next to impossible to find a 38/357 158gr LRN with a brinell hardness of 12....The closest I could get is 18 from Georgia Arms....I ordered 2000 of them this morning.
My powder charge dictates a hardess of approximately 12-15.....
I have the LSWC I got for MBC and they rate 12, but, they don't show a 158gr LRN..... :roll:
I guess I'm just venting, but, has anyone seen what I'm looking for, or am I taking this whole Brinell hardness thing way to seriously? As stated before, I'm loading these for shooting games (steel plate), so I MUST use lead bullets.....
