A way to do a hardness test with a drill press, a ball bearing, calipers and a bathroom scale
There's a way to do a hardness test with a drill press, a ball bearing, calipers and a bathroom scale. Basically, you put the lead sample on the scale, press the ball bearing into the lead with the drill press, measure the indent with the calipers and do the math. Assuming you've got a drill press and scale, then finding a ball bearing it the next step. A ball with a diameter of 7/16" is best, but the formula adjusts for ball size. A farm equipment shop or transmission shop should have some discarded bearings around. A bearing with an outside diameter of approximately 3" will have suitable balls. Get the balls out with a cutting torch, by prying out the cage or by breaking the outer race with a big hammer. Protect yourself from flying pieces of sharp metal if you go the big hammer route.

Set the scale on the press so you can press the ball with the chuck. My scale's top bends when I press on an unsupported lead stick-on weight, so I put an 1 1/2" x 1/4" x 12" steel bar on the scale. The chuck jaws can handle the load, but you can chuck in a rod and press with it. Apply about 200 lb. force on the ball for a few seconds and measure the indent.
OK, here's the math. Convert the force, ball diameter and indent diameter to metric, so:
200 lb. = 90.7 kg.
7/16" ball = 11.1mm
0.18" indent = 4.6mm
If you've got a spreadsheet, set it up so B3 = Force, B4 = Ball dia, and B5 = Indent dia.
then BHN = B3/(PI*B4/2*(B4-SQRT(B4^2-B5^2)))
I'll work through this example for those of you who have to do it the hard way.
BHN = Force/(Pi x Ball / 2 x ( Ball - Square Root of (Ball squared-Indent squared)))
BHN = 90.7/(3.14159 x 11.1 / 2 x ( 11.1 - Square Root of (11.1 x 11.1 - 4.6 x 4.6)))
BHN = 90.7/(17.436 x ( 11.1 - (Square Root of (123.21 - 21.16)))
BHN = 90.7/(17.436 x ( 11.1 - ( Square Root of 102.05)))
BHN = 90.7/(17.436 x ( 11.1 - 10.102))
BHN = 90.7/(17.436 x .998)
BHN = 90.7/17.401
BHN = 5.21
