alloy, sb 1.04, sn 88.59, cu 9.17, results from XRF gun analysis.
Hi Folks,
A fellow is trying to sell some solder in the S&S area, and someone offered the conjecture that there is no interest because of the copper content. A quick and dirty calculation indicates that if this solder were used to make 20:1 alloy, it would have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/2 of one percent copper. Would that much copper ruin the alloy for bullet casting? I wouldn't think it would matter.
Take care, Tom
