    Hm, yes it is nice to have, but I don't really see the need for copious amounts of tin. One only needs like 1-2%, right, so what I have (including some pewter) would be enough for a ton of lead. I don't see myself shooting that much in my remaining years. What I would like is a good source of antimony. And COWW are hard to come by these days.

    A ton is not that much when you shoot regularly. I'm recycling my boolits back to melt because I only have a ton of alloy.

    Just got my Hard Alloy XRF:
