Nope. I would only be wanting a harder bullet for seating purposes. Using my "normal" alloy for the
45 Colt, I get good accuracy and no leading, BHN about 11. I don't think using a smaller bullet of soft alloy would work, as I'd be depending on obturation for better fit. I was thinking a harder alloy may not swage as much when seated in the tight cases...
