    Ive been buying from Buffalo arms for several years occasionally roto metals. Both are very good the ingots are Id stamped so you know what they are.

    roto-metals usually runs sales and no shipping for over $100 purchased.

    I recently got some 1:20 alloy from Rotometals. I like that they now sell it in small chunks, which makes it easier to add to my pot.

    i just cut the 5# ingots in half with a cold chisel on an anvil, but chunks would sure save that time and effort.

    Hi,

    Just wondering what you were shooting. That’s hard stuff maybe I need to get some.

    Thanks

    depends on more than a few things, but the kinda cartridge and bullet type would be good to know for starters. with greasers i'll start with 1:30, and then 1:20 for ppb's.
