Back in '67, I melted the lead cores out of a mess of 130-grain .270 bullets, and crammed/packed in as much aluminum foil as I could. I wuz lookin' for the same thing you are. Sadly, none hit the target a hundred yards away. Before you comment on the "wisdom'' of that effort, I was just 16...
I'm not suggesting 'crammed aluminum foil' is an alternative, just adding to the idea that 'there's nothing new under the sun'. Personally, I think it's a good idea, and I can think of several 'applications'. Paul |

Al cores.
I think even soft aluminium would be much too hard to swage in an old horizontal hand press. It would not flow as easy as pure lead. The press could break or sustain excessive wear.
Possible in a newer heavy duty verticle press with a small caliber core. It would be quite OK in a hydraulic press as they can swage pure copper bullets. |
