The lead-alloy core, similar in composition to hard-cast bullets, was selected to resist deformation through the forcing cone.

The bulk of my experience has been with Berry’s hard cast and plated lead bullets. Thousands upon thousands of rounds loaded with its 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm and .45-caliber slugs have raced down the ...

Cast lead alloy and swaged lead bullets require a diameter about 0.001" greater than normal jacketed bullet diameter to shoot accurately and prevent cylinder throat and bore leading in revolvers.

The cast bullets are then run through an automated “lubrisizer” that both sizes the bullet and lubricates it to prevent depositing lead inside the barrel of the firearm.

Both companies load hard-cast lead bullets to high (for the .45/70) pressures, and they are formidable rounds indeed. Ammo of this order can be safely used in only two rifles that I know of.

Some 1,800 years ago, Roman troops used "whistling" sling bullets as a "terror weapon" against their barbarian foes, according to archaeologists who found the cast lead bullets at a site in Scotland.

Sometimes they were cast from “hard lead,” a group of alloys typically found in bullets, which contain nearly 95 percent lead with just a bit of antimony for hardness.
