[QUOTE="Calamity Jake, post: 3531574, member: 12219"] In the Greener days the alloy was a lead tin mix(10 to 1, 20 to 1 or 30 to 1) was the alloys used, these alloys were soft, BHN 7 to 9 maybe? Pure tin is 11. Plus there's the issue with fit, which they were still working on back then, an undersize bullet would skid down the rifleing stripping lead form the bullet allowing powder gases to shoot by causing the leading. Elmer Keith taught us that fit is king to stop leading, his alloy of choice was 20 to 1. [/QUOTE]
