Our standard home brew alloy cast with a Brinell hardness of approximately 16.
I picked up on the above in their About Us statement. WHile it isn't overly hard it isn't soft either.

As has been pointed out soft isn't something to be scared of. I am shooting plain based bullets up into the 1200+fps range pretty easily with no ill effects with alloy that is only hitting around a 12BHN

Granted most commercial casters need to keep things a bit harder though as shipping will mess up the noses and bases. Heck even my 454 bullet while gas checked are only air cooled wheel weight alloy and they are pushed up into the 1575fps range. I have run them up higher, but neither the revolver, nor I especially really like that too much.
