What do past and present users of Lyman #2 think about the alloy. I'm hoping to discuss its attributes as a cast bullet alloy only. I realize that to many or most casters it is a terrible waste of tin. I do not argue that but maybe we could suspend that discussion for this thread. My plan is to alloy up some Lyman #2 or nearly so, range from 94-3-3 to 90-5-5, with some arsenic for heat treating. Base mission is 30-32 caliber medium pressure rimmed cartridges on the range, 1800 fps to start with GG GC bullets. There is no hunting planned but I'm an old hunter and ammo should be deer unfriendly ammo.
How does it fill?
How cranky is the alloy to use?
Any problems PCing them?
