Since I do not yet own a BHN tester, anyone hazard a guess as to what my clip-ons combined with stick-ons would yield?

60% clip-ons
40% stick-ons

I read someone's post recently where they thought the stick-ons averaged around 7-10 bhn in their experience. Anyone done any hardness testing with their wheel weights?

I sense that this is not all that scientific, but what hardness would you think is ideal for a light 9mm load at 1000fps or less? Several posts have about convinced me to just combine my 60/40 ratio and not worry about it. Is this about the gist of it?

As soon as get all my stuff, i'll spend more time in the garage and less time on the computer (lol)
