Anyone with a scanner and "Cast Bullets"

[joeb33050]

I need a copy of the graph, figure 8, on page 17 of Harrison's book "Cast Bullets".The article is "Cast Bullets in Rifles, Cast Bullet Alloys, Part 2 of 4".
The graph shows alloy hardness as percentages of tin and antimony change.
I need this in .jpg format.
Thanks for the help;

It sounds like this graph is something many of us could use. Maybe if someone does have it, it could be either sent to those interested, or even posted here.

I got a high resolution photography scanner, but no copy of the manual.

There is some info at http://www.lasc.us/CastBulletAlloy.htm that you might save.

Joe, Sent two emails; one should have the graph you need attached.

imashooter2, thanks for that - an excellent reference, and crystal-clear. It certainly tells you that foundry type with most of the tin burned out of it is a pretty ugly product - only 19BHN, but so many antimony crystals it probably acts pretty much like a file in your barrel. I guess the only way to figure out the antimony content is to melt a small batch, and keep adding known quantities of tin while watching the effect on hardness until you can locate it on the chart.

I've got lots of foundry type that tests at 19 BHN, which on the face of it means it is less than 2% tin. Now how long would that stuff have to have sat in a pot to lose three-quarters of its tin content? Probably quite a while.

Thank you Big John, thanks to all.

Joe,
That chart is also found in the NRA Handloader's Guide (my copy is dated 1969) page 129. That book is still one of those that I refer to time and time again for the basics; or to remind me of what I had forgotten.

As an aside, I received your disk in the mail and can read it well by putting the disk in. clicking on my computor then double cliking on cd rive then double clicking on the chapters. I'm jotting down some notes that I will email you later. I wanted to put it on hard drive so I could just add comments to the thing but it won't let me. Thanks, sf340...

Won't it just copy from the CD to the C drive? It should, I think.
Thanks;
