A previous article mentioned that lead bullets should not be 
used in the HK 91.  The great late George C. Nonte conducted
tests with cast bullets and a CETME ( essentially a Spanish
HK 91 ) with good results.  The article is in one of Nonte's
hard cover books on handloading.  If I remember correctly,
the powder which produced the best pressure curve with a 
180 grain hard-cast lead bullet was IMR 3031.
