Need help here gentlemen (New to casting) A friend of mine gave me ..50 pounds of #8 chilled lead shot. If I melt this down as is will it be to soft to shoot in my 38 special/357mag &1874 Pedersoli Sharps 45/70 ?
Should I be adding the shot to some other lead or visa-versa? I have some Lyman #2 coming from Rotometals in a few days, so I can experiment a little with some helpfull wisdom.
I load my own with Middle of the pack loads( not to soft or hot) I generally shoot the Sharps at about 1350 fps with a 350 gr lead bullet. Hope this kind of gives you the picture.
Thanks for the help, Saggitar
