Wheel weights water dropped can get to 30BHN! Pretty impressive but not needed for 99.9% of all handgun shooting. The extra hardness will not hurt you as long as the bullets fit the bore/throats of your firearm though and since you didn't add something to the alloy to get that hardness, nothing lost either. Water and a 5 gallon bucket is pretty cheap hardening stuff!
Good for you!
