    Well I do not post much but was busy casting ZInc bullets for my 38/357 - 9mm - 300 BO - 30-06. Went through about 50 lbs of zinc. I have been casting and shooting Zinc bullets about 4 years now. They are working great. Mostly for target shooting.

    What weight zinc bullets do you use. Are the lighter weight for their size?

    I have been casting and shooting Zinc bullets for a little over 3 years now. They are 60% lighter (147gn lead = 90 gn Zinc) (180gn lead = 113gn Zinc).

    That’s pretty cool. So my next question, excuse my ignorance, do you load the 180gr (113gr) bullet with 180gr data because of its size and length, or 115gr data because of weight?
