it's not always about hardness.
and richard LEE is up in the night on most of his 1422 number.
it works alright but it's wrong.
you can figure his number and load the load and shoot,,, and your golden.
untill you suddenly are using mono-type at 2300 fps and can't hit the broad side of a cow at 25 yds.
in desperation you try anything like something silly such as adding some pure lead into the mix and notice the more you add the better your rifle starts shooting so you add some more and get a little better.
then all the sudden you lose accuracy.
what the heck you think... then suddenly remember that when you sized them they slid through awfully easily.
so now what?
go back and be happy?
modify the mold?
or try something else like a different mold that allows the softer alloy to work better.
