Sizing WW bullets
« on: January 25, 2003, 04:13:40 AM »
Hi,
I am just getting rolling on casting my own and I have a question. Everything I read about using wheel weights says they are a bit harder. Are you still able too run them through your sizer and get consistant results??
                                              Thanks,
                                       Dennis

ww is coming out at 10 on the brinell hardness which is perfect for low velocity or water quench them and they will come out about 17 on the hardness scale and you should have no promblem sizing as long as your sizer is specific for that caliber! :wink:
