I think 18 is about standard for most loads.
If I water quench
wheel weight castings, they hit between 18 and 19.
Okay.
If you want to get a little harder than that, you can go, you can buy what's called linotype.

I think it can get to 20, 21.

I size and lube them the old-style way with a lube-a-sizer.
Yeah.
And then most of my bullets are not gas-checked.
Okay.
