Roto metals lead

[MikeACP]

I was looking at Rotometals 4-6% antimony lead. The one for 1.99 Is this good enough for casting bullets? Non magnum, .45,38,9mm?

I think they offer a hardball lead.. 92-6-2. That is the one you likely want to get since it has the requisite 2% tin for fillout. I think they also offer a Linotype alloy if you already have pure 100% lead so you can go 50-50 to get close to the hardball 92-6-2 alloy. I am certain others more knowledgable will chime in..

Wheel weight lead is fine for casting and it only has 0.5% Tin and 2-3% Antimony.
You will save some money if you buy from the people in our vendor sponsors section. You can find iso-lead with either 1% tin, 3% antimony or 2.5% tin, 2.5% antimony. You can also find pure lead, range lead, and wheel weight lead. All of the above will already be in ingot form - ready for casting. The going rate is about $1 per pound, so it is much cheaper than rotometals.
