Been wanting to do a large batch of #2 alloy for casting rifle bullets. I've been doing small batches (18#/20#) of 14bhn alloy (91/4.5/4.5) and #2 alloy (95/5/5) at a time. A large batch will allow me to cast a more consistent bullet not only from casting session to casting session, from mold to different mold.
Having the same elasticity and malleability from an alloy with different bullet designs is huge when trying to identify issues with bullet failure.
So I did up a 100# batch of #2 alloy to cast rifle bullets with. While I was at it I made 200#+ of range scrap ingots to feed the pistols and revolvers.
A lot of pulls of the trigger are in those ingots.
