Can anybody tell me what the Brinnell hardness(?)of a PURE
LEAD bullet is as opposed to a pure lead 'QUENCHED' bullet?
Also, what average hardness would a copper jacketed bullet be?
How fast can a 'quenched' bullet be pushed WITHOUT a gas check?
I get good accuracy with my 9mm and no leading using either
wheelweight OR PURE LEAD QUENCHED. (I assume the velocity would be about 1100-1150 fps.)
Comments appreciated.

P.S.-Has anybody shot a .41 or .44 mag. using wheelweights
and NO gas check? Results?
