BHN of 8 cast bullet ?
« on: October 08, 2005, 12:46:54 PM »
My buddie say a BHN of 8  will be excellent for blackpowder loads and around 1600 FPS for smokeless
Cal: 45-70  405 FP ?
What do you guys think on this subject?
I do not cast  :D  :-D  :)

BHN of 8 cast bullet ?

Eight seems to me to be a bit soft for those velocities.  Mine come out 12-15, depending on whether or not I drop them in water from the mold.  I'd be happy to shoot 15 BHN bulets at 1600 fps (gas checked) all day.
