Notes:
Yellow fields are input for the formula.
Antimony content increases hardness. Tin content improves mold fill-out and adds a little hardness.
Boolits with more than 6% Antimony will be too brittle. Copper content increases hardness.
Arsenic is a grain refiner that greatly improves heat treating and quenching in lead/antimony alloys.
Hollow points intended for hunting/expansion should be about 2% Sn and 2% Sb.
Water quenching increases hardness. For example, WW alloy can go from 12 up to 18.
Estimated hardness calculated by Rotometals formula: Brinell = 8.60 + ( 0.29 * %Tin ) + ( 0.92 * %Antimony )
According to Missouri Bullet, the optimum Brinell Hardness = CUP / 1279.8. See your load data for the CUP.
