For years I've been using WW tested at about 15bhn and powder coated with good accuracy in all calibers up to 1700fps. Unfortunately WW are getting scarce so I bought 100# of range scrap and cast up some 9mm.

Big mistake. I couldn't hit a steel target at 25 yards, we're talking feet of spread. When I got home they test about 9bhn so I had to pull them. My CZ slugs at 355 and I have them sized at 358 as usual.

I've been reading people mix 50/50 with WW and scrap with good results but it would be nice if I could just buy something to add a small amount to my scrap melt that brings it up to 15-ish.
