    Hardness of centerfire salvaged outdoor range lead

    Does anyone have a guess on the hardness of salvaged outdoor range lead. Lead would be from cast centerfire pistol bullets and jacketed pistol/rifle bullet cores picked up from the backstop of an outdoor range. No .22s, car batteries or other industrial scrap.

    Need an estimate for Brinell Hardness (BHN). I understand that hardness will very melt lot to lot. Just need an approx BHN number.
