You have that backwards man. Brass is Cu Zn :)

We have a female EPA agent in my AO that told 2 of my usual suppliers that they can't give the weights away. She actually told them that the only legal way for them to get rid of their spent weights...

I still trade used primers and damaged shells to the scrap dealer for Pb. It's all brass to them.

Slowly pour it into a 5gal bucket of water as a continuous stream. Makes nice long round strips that are easy to cut. Watch out for the ends though, they're damn sharp. After I've done that, I prefer...

Don't waist your breath Jim. Your talking to a man who calls himself "mastercast" who thinks Pb melts at 572deg F (notice I said Pb, not Pb alloys), apparently thinks thinks evaporation can only take...

Mr. Mastercast.com,

You may want to slow down before you put your foot irrevocably into your mouth. I don't know what type of chromatography instrument your friend used to determine the presence...

I'm interested in reading your results stew. keep us posted.

right but 0.006 x 1800= 10.8 which is what you actually have. 6/10th of 1%. I hate to burst your bubble, but it's more like $14,300 if you want to unload it all sometime this year. Still a nice chunk...

How do you figure "a grand for copper content" when you only have 10.8lbs of copper? You would be at $17,430 assuming you could get lb prices for bulk Tin (which is not likely unless you want to be...

or you could mix a powdered form with sodium cyanide and leach your pound of silver out :)

Glad I'm not the only person capable of researching an issue before I get riled up about it. Any of the rest of you ever consider that the ultimate goal here, may be to "prove" (over a long...

Don't suppose you have a chart showing the corresponding hardness?

I own the home, I get to go out whenever I like:p

Forgive me sagacious, I have OCD. Even 1 hundredth of an ounce is 4.375gr. Not nearly precise enough to satisfy me. When I measure out alloy metals into ounce coins I measure 437.5gr +/- .05gr. I'm...

I feel your pain. Someone lifted 3 buckets from one of my suppliers last month. They walked right into the shop while he was at lunch. he called me right before lunch and said come on by in half hour...

Use the calculator I sent you via email :-)

If you must do it manually, convert everything to grains at 7000gr/1Lb

Alloy #1 = 96.8/1.2/2 Pb/Sb/Sn
Alloy #2 = 96.7/2/1.3 Pb/Sb/Sn


Modern WW alloy is ~ 96.5/3/0.5

More like 1 to 15 if you want a modern WW 3% Sb content. And you would end up with 1.2% Sn at that ratio.

You could get by for years driving nails without a hammer, but once you've used one you'll never question why you bought it. A good tool is never a wasted investment.

Ralph,
Assuming your WW lead is all clip on (it is if it's the stuff you got from me)

If you combine the known alloys:
70 lbs of Isotope lead thats 95 Pb- 2.5 Sb- 2.5 Sn
60lbs of Wheel Weight...

Might be time for a little recon work. Follow the truck that cleans out the range. If it really does go to an old mine for disposal (highly suspect, but I've heard dumber things), report back. We...

Now that, I do believe. In the age of Ebay, freebies are few and far between. Why help out your fellow man, when you could make a buck:roll:

Warehouse levels only reflect what is leftover after all purchase orders are filled. It is a measure of surplus. You will note that the current warehouse stock levels are at a 10+year high (maybe an...

I would, but I often circle back around to pickup WW on the side of the road. My wife says I'm addicted to Pb.

I get those from time to time. mine seem to be made from the same stuff as the small blue vials that are listed on SQL's home page. They should be, since they are both xenon containers from the same...
