    What is this?

    Just brought this over from my brothers house. It was in with his lead and stuff. It is really hard and my 2H pencil doesn't leave a mark but a screw driver does. It clangs when you drop it and it looks like he melt a part of it. Any good for boolit casting?

    General rule is 4% tin, 12% antimony, 84% lead or something clse to that.

    Then it should make some awesome boolits. I am figuring on mixing it with pure lead to get a hardness in the 10 to 11 range.
