The LBT Hardness Tester was developed to tests the hardness of lead alloy bullets and suitable ingots.
“When your bullets read what you know you need, you will get performance indeed!”

Additional Information
**Note: Test specimen capacity is 1 inch (Shorten longer and/or pointed bullets to obtain test flat, and/or to fit tester).
**FYI: Ingots typically cool much slower than bullets causing the hardness reading to vary greatly depending on cooling time, temperature of ingot mold, etc.
IMPORTANT: HARDNESS CLAIMS OF COMMERCIAL CAST BULLETS OR COMMERCIAL CASTING ALLOY ARE NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. DO NOT USE THEM AS A HARDNESS STANDARD FOR OUR TESTER BUT VISA VERSA! FEW DELIVER AS ADVERTISED!
**Every tester is manually calibrated and should be trusted as your ‘precision hardness standard’.
