I'll be anxious myself, the lead will show in the drilled hole for sure. Maybe it will work enough to give us an idea even if they are 18 brinell.

I would think that around 12 brinell would be soft enough for 'mushrooming'. Do any of you casters have any ideas about that?

If this pans out I'll probably move to Franzas (tip of the hat) clue with the GT bullets. Some outfits will do some custom work, especially if you order a large enough quantity.

Of course in the future I may just get into casting, but that's putting the unpropelled wheeled conveyance in front of the equine animal.
