I found an old bar of this laying around my shop. From a quick google search I got the following alloys:


Syracuse Government Genuine Babbitt
89% Tin Equivalent to :
7 1/2% Antimony ASTM B23 Grade 2
3 1/2% Copper SAE 12
Federal Spec. QQT390 Grade 9

Is this any good for bullet alloys? If so what % range should I use?

Get the lead calculator on here for FREE and put in those in the "custom alloy" fields. Then play around with the other fields of what you have to add and get the result you want.
