That's quite a hard mix Gav, no?

What lube you using?

Liquid alox. It's about as hard as I'd want to go without them going brittle, need the hardness for a good pressure and stop leading. I'm going by the book so not making it up. Around 28 BNH they get brittle so a good way off, and can get upto 28,000psi with 21 BNH so suits me Sir.

No I didn't slug the bore as I'm still mainly using it for jacketed, unless I get a dedicated rifle for cast thats how it'll stay.

I size them to .308 to crimp gas checks, just loaded some 170gn flat nose which should achieve around 2000fps @ 23,500 psi, just need to see how they group now.
