I put my casting pot into retirement a few years ago. I followed other endeavors.
getting geared up to cast for a 300 blackout I am building. I went to look to Antimony Man for tin and antimony and found he is out of business and in sadly in distress.

I used the wayback machine to pull up his website from 2014 and copied off the rich material he had posted for reference. Has anyone risen to fill the void he left? Is there a source for material to add to soft lead to bring up the hardness?

Getting back on board, slowly it seems. Still have a bucket of Wheel weights. But a few buckets of dead soft lead. I need a plan. thanks in advance. JB
