What is the desired alloy hardness for medium to large game? The ABC's book lists mixtures for "medium alloy", "hard alloy" and "very hard alloy". What is the desired mix?
Anyone have any recipes for a good deer alloy? I've seen posted to use 92/2/6 (Lead/Tin/Ant), but the ABC's book says that 90/5/5 is considered "medium alloy" meant to be shot around 1500fps. That velocity is fine for my 45LC, but I'm hoping to push my 45-70 closer to 1900fps.
Are the percentages based on weight? Or, are they based on size?
Thanks.
