LMAO. My dad does a lot of handloading. He has expirimented with casting his own 50~55 grain bullets for 222 and 243 varmit shooting. He's never met a wheel weight that he didn't want to bring home.

HE should hang around the tire ships and see if they'll give him the old ones they pull off.

me neither. in my case it's to make 210 grain SWC lead bullets for my colt's DS & for my S&W Mod.65 4-inch.

210 grains of soft lead @ 720FPS OR @ 950FPS is a WORLDSHAKER at the K5 area!

Go to an old printing press and see if they have any lineotype left. It is the perfect hardness. Better put that gas check on anyway.
