Other than the obvious of knowing the BHN of your batch of bullets, I'm wondering why I bought one back when I was even DUMBER than I am now.
Not useful in determining alloy makeup far as I know. A number of things contribute to hardness including sample size. An ingot won't test the same as a bullet due I understand to different cooling rates.
So what am I missing out on about this business? If it's not leading the barrel it's neither too soft nor too hard.
