Hi all!!
Was give 25 pounds of linotype in small 1.5 pound bars...lucky! The dude who gave it to me said it has 1.5% tin....that's all he knew about it.
Being new to casting, I was wondering how much? of what? I should mix with it to make it more "usable" for boolits? Or, is it ok the way it is? Will be casting 357 and 38 plinking rounds.
Thanks!

KLR, if you can scrounge some wheelweight metal, mix about 6 parts WW to one part of Lino. Lino is generally too expensive and hard to come by to use straight for pistol plinking bullets. Mixed with the much cheaper and easier to find WW, it makes superb bullets.
