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.
I’ve used Buffalo Arms. Where every to buy from compare shipping charges.
roto-metals usually runs sales and no shipping for over $100 purchased.
This place has some good quality alloy. http://www.zipmetals.com/Certified-2...nds_p_173.html
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.
