New Alloy

[Kurt]

For about a year now I been working on a alloy for the light .40 caliber and the heavier .45's to get a alloy that will hold the 2/3 of the bullet from upsetting into the groove. I was looking for a alloy that is hard but malleable so it just expands the 1/3 of the base but hold the front at bore diameter with out distortion. Last winter I ran out of snow so what little we got so far this winter I shot a bunch and I just found three so far and they sure look like I'm in the ball park from what I'm after but I still need the .45 bullets and also the different mixes.
The dimple you see is the end of the shank and the start of the ogive where I hold my patch. The land impressions show full rotation with out a sign of stripping and a lack of gas cuts and they are at full groove depth.
Now to find the rest and get then making holes through paper. I hope the holes will look as good as the recovered bullets.
