Hey Classic, I'll take either one off your hands and I'll double your investment!

I loaded a few hundred 32 Longs for a guy once, but that's hardly a lot of experience. As I recall, using jacketed bullets was a waste of time and money. With a soft-cast lead bullet (and you do NOT want a hard bullet with this round!), I think 2.5 of Bullseye or 3.0 of RedDot worked best with an 86-gr SWC.

If you make your own alloy, use nothing harder than 1-16, and 1-20 might be better. If you use scrap, mix one part of wheelweights with four to six parts pure lead.
