Looks like my days of scratching cast bullets with my fingernail are coming to a close.  Just ordered a hardness tester from LBT.... ;D Any of you guys have one to play with? Added it to my order for a 410 grain WFN .512 bullet mold...  |

Axe,
I've had one for several years. The LBT is the best IMO. Simple to use and accurate.

I have an LBT and have been quite happy with it. Prior to that I had the Saeco. I didn't like the Saeco and soon sent it on down the pike.
Freshly cast bullets need to set at least two weeks before hardness testing. Antimonial alloys need that minimum length of time to reach their full hardness (most of the hardness is gained in two weeks - the alloy will continue to harden a bit but the difference between two weeks and longer is minimal).
Without my LBT hardness tester I wouldn't have known that. AFTER I figured this out I learned that information is available from a variety of sources.

"Got your tester yet?"Someone has never ordered stuff from LBT have they?  Now this is only my third order but from my past experience I am not expecting to see anything for two or three more weeks...
