    In 1978 I sold a fairly flashy pony that I'd bred and broken in (all with Dads help) for I think the unprecedented sum of $600. As soon as I went back to boarding school I promptly matched off to...

    I have noticed that certain brands are definitely much harder lead. For example, CCI std is extremely hard and does not take a hollow point that well. SK match is the softest I have found so far.
