Hardness isn't a big factor in the slower handgun velocities, bullet fit is more important. Wheelweight or iso lead is pretty much optimal for handgun bullets. When using TL bullets I generally tumble lube, let dry, size using Lee's push-thru sizer and apply a second light coat of LLA. Sizing is not generally necessary but I feel it gives me a more consistent bullet, also the easiest way to install a gas check where applicable.

My favorite recipes start out with a handful of used wheelweights.
