I just find some local smelting factory and ask about lead -antiomony alloy.
Guy says that have some "hard" lead from earlier projects and that this alloy is arrorund 5% of antimony and 2% Tin. I think that cod give boolits about 14 Bhn hardness ..Hi can melt that in any shape i want.
Wi discus a price and hi was talking about 1,3 USD a pound..
I have COWW for about 0.6 USD a pound...(i melt them in small pot about 15 lbs so this become a lot work for me to get ingots from COWW)
wi arrange to met next week and discus a posible buy..Place is about 45 miles from my house.
I realy like idea of having some clean ingots of alloy and not messing with COWW..I also planing to cast some larger quantity of 9 mm boolits (10-15 000) for sale.I order a Lee hardness tester so i will chek the alloy as soon tester arive to be sure .
Interested to heir what you guys think about this ....
