Quote from: Krazong on May 08, 2024, 08:03 PMI find that the stick-on wheel weights which are actually made of lead (Pb) can only be used for muzzle loaders. In fact, they are so soft that it's in fact almost pure 100% Lead. Because it's not really an alloy, it casts with great difficulty and does not flow as well as the crimp-on wheelwreights. You also would want to increase the temperature a lot to effectively cast a nice bullet without wrinkles. They made great roundballs and I use them exclusively to cast my .715" and .735" roundballs. These balls consume huge amounts of lead, being 550 and 650 grains respectively.*******************************

Maybe I should test my SWC cast bullets I use for my 38Spl in my 357 Mag and see if I still get decent accuracy.
Using cast lead I should gain an extra +- 100ft/sec compared to CMJ/FMJ. This implies a velocity of around 1900 ft/sec
Will test and report back.
