I found that straight wheel weights work fantastic.


Totally agree. Too hard bullets are a problem. The wheel weights I've used over the years will test 9 to 10 BHN when cast at 725 degrees and air cooled. This is plenty for loads to 25,000 psi and in some sixguns will work at 30,000 and above. My favorite 44 mag load used 20 grs. of 2400 and a L429421 at 250 grs. sized to .431. Lube of choice is LBT. God Bless.
