Reloading metallic cartridges

[villiers]

Have ordered the tin. Both the Werder and the M`71 moulds were custom made by Hensel from Cerrosafe castings so don´t really want to size the bullets. I´ll never be much of a competition winner and neither will the two short carbines. It´s just a matter of achieving the optimum with what I´ve got. Just as the weather´s got slightly better, The Wannsee range is now closed for maintenance. So I´ll get rid of the last twenty soft lead bullets on Monday and then see what the tin/lead compound does.

I also use Hensel molds. If you gave Hensel the slugged bore diameter of the rifle in which the bullets are to used, before he cut the mold, the bullets will not need sizing. With added tin, the bullets will probably come out a gnat's whisker larger, as a tin-lead mix fills thé mold better.
