Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

I guess I got mine the hard way. A friend of my father had a print shop out in Indiana. He was retiring and not continuing the business. He asked me if I wanted 300lbs of Lino Type. After he said he wanted 10 cents a pound for it (2006)....I took it all....I then melted it all down into 1 lb and 1/2 lb ingots and stacked them neatly in the corner. I have a great supply that didn't cost me much but its invaluable when casting hardcast....I mix 2lbs of WW and 1lb of Lino when making hardcast....They shoot very well. I'm in the process of ramping up for some Black Powder production...and in making a ball mill I'm going to use straight Lino to make 50 cal balls. This Lino is great stuff....but unless you can have a lab analyze it....you likely will never know its exact composition. For me....I don't need to know...it just shoots great.
