313lbs of #2!

[troy_mclure]

i just got finished making 313 pounds of high arsenic #2 alloy in nice neat ingots that will fit into my lee 10lb pot.

a whole 20lb propane tank and 3 nites to alloy the tin to the antimony, re-smelt the shot/scuba lead for cleanliness, and alloy them together.

now its time to make boolits!

Depending on what you shoot, you may want to hold back a bit of pure lead.
I've been able to stretch my few hundred pounds of lino and more of #2 and still more WW by alloying with pure lead from a roofing contractor friend (I get the roof vent take offs).
Blended 50/50 with #2 or WW, these easily heat treat to 18-22 brennel, shoot wonderfully in .30-30 or .35 Rem , or 45-70, yet maintain plasticity to mushroom instead of shattering from brittleness. (NOTE:All with gas checked bullets, 1400-2000 fps, microgroove or ballard rifling)
Also works as is or heat treated for .38/357/.44 spl/.45ACP and .45 Colt in plain based or gas checked bullets.
