riffle alloys using coww

[rmatchell]

I have been looking to see what I would need to do to mix coww to be useful in riffle. I just put my name down the MiHec 22 Nato mold and was looking to feed my ar's and my 222. Didn't know if I could get away with adding tin and water droping.

For higher velocity rifle I use my harder batches of coww, solder, and a small handful of birdshot for the antimony and arsenic, and water drop. The results are 25 to 30 BHN usually 27 which is good enough for anything.

Thanks for the reply, I think ill mix up a batch while I wait for the mold. I have been holding on to an ingot of merit metal babbit. I have to dig up so information on it to.

tuning your alloy to the hard side could be beneficial.
i went the other way and picked up accuracy coming down from linotype.

I also have 15 pounds of lino that I have been saving. I haven't really got into alloys yet just worked with ww's
