Bullet Alloy

[MePlat]

VERAL:   With some cast bullet suppliers charging big prices for their bullets such as 17 dollars for 50 claiming that they use an alloy that will not shatter and break up because of the low antimony content causes me to wonder what you think of this.

Is there an alloy you would recommend that will resist breakup on the heaviest bones at handgun velocities?  Also at velocities up to 2200 fps?

Is a person better off with a softer alloy that will deform rather than an alloy that may be too hard and brittle?

Would you please expand on this question (questions)  as it seems to be a great selling point of some casters that seem to be bent on charging amounts that to me seem quite high for their product.

Thanks you for your time

At magnum revolver velocities, I have not encountered any alloy that will not nold together well at any speed it can be driven accurately without leading.  Pure lead or other very soft alloys cannot be driven fast enough to get certain expansion, nor to tear them to pieces.  
High ductility is mandatory to prevent bullet breakup at higher speeds of 2200 + fps.  i.e. Low antimony heat treated to get hardness high as possible.Wheel weight alloy, hardened,  is as good as it gets, and that certainly isn't an expensive alloy!
