Thanks for the info guys.

I will be loading a few test rounds this weekend. Ojectives are as follows.

1. Weigh bullets
2. Loan my buddy's chronograph
3. Build hardness tester
4. Shoot
5. Report test results

It's going to take me a week to get this done.

Some of the babbitt dicussion is jaring my memory. I actually remember seeing some railway car axle bearings. (Don't ask why) They were much less dense that lead. No signs of orange discoloration in the pot. I did notice this batch of lead was slightly more shiney in color.

I will report back in a few days.

Thanks all the info. I appreciate it.
