I missed yeah this, I saw this actually and considered using this as well. However it melts a bit hotter than lead and is lighter than bismuth. Which means I have to use more dense metal to get lead...

it would be less than 25% at just 20% and it would not pass any sort of penetration tests they did any for it. It is also chambered in a rifle not pistol. Also some "copper" lead free bullets would...

Silver is toxic somewhat (you really have to be trying to overdose, it is often used in medicine for burns). But essentially platinum, silver, gold whilst being heavy metals are VERY inert and...

More than likely they were FMJ so that has some impact vs hollow points

it still affects blood lead levels.

That's common vernacular, don't know what you're supposed to get out of that. But I'll have to say the fact that even though Arizona and Utah don't ban lead ammo, it is strongly encouraged speaks...

I searched a little nothing on Google that said ND was wrong.
Here is a recent paper 2018 says pregnant women and children up to 7 or so shouldn't
Pg.28 under recomendation.

The North Dakota thing,

^ I don't see why not, I'd try it if I had my stuff set up. It melts at a very low temp. It's a tinge lighter than copper but...

In short the answer is it's mold, or forge/machine them.

The thought is to use the platinum as the base, and slowly dilute it out by melting more...

Ok, so politics first, then I'll answer the how I'll make precious bullets later post:
I think this is very much overstated. To state rational as to why the whole non-lead thing = gun/hunting...

Well I'm not going to teach an older man how to make babies. But, when you say that this is a political stunt, my wonder is what exactly would be the end goal. There has to be a better notion than...

If only. That would be precooked deer when you shot one. But alas lazers tend to not be very lethal unless they are huge.
No, Why? :p
That would be an interesting take. But I think it would...

Also, I do plan on doing things with said metals in the future. Jewelry is one of them, my interest materials in general mainly. It will be more a science experiment than a serious "OMG! everyone...

Science is great progress my dude. I don't think it will be viable and I think most reasonable people will realize this wouldn't be very commercially viable bullet. Specially when the average joe...
Forum: Cast Boolits
true, might still do it though, for the novelty of it. Like people have done with silver and pure gold even, and those way more expensive.
It is slight but lead is not really something I like...

Research Update
So this is again running with the notion that I can match the ballistic profile and kinetic energy of a lead bullet but with using non-lead metals. The idea is to make lead and non...
