I'm thinking about ordering some:
2% Tin—6% Antimony—92% Lead
What is this sruff close to? I think it would be harder than WW.
What do you all think.

If my memory is working this AM
I have seen that exact alloy listed as Hard Ball alloy on http://www.lasc.us/CastBulletNotes.htm
Also It is about Lyman #2

2% Tin—6% Antimony—92% Lead equals:
half as hard, half as tough as Linotype equals:
twice as hard, twice as tough as WW. ... felix

That alloy is sold as hardball and Taracorp Magnum
Lyman #2 is close at 90/5/5

Thanks all was thinking it would be good for my rifles ie. 445SM, 7.62X54R, .308 and 460WBY. With it being close to Lyman #2 it should work out fine, just need to get the right price on it.
Thanks Warf
