I have an opportunity to get some of this stuff. Is it good for bullets? Ive only cast wheelweights. Thanks

Absolutely!
The bar solder is used to fortify the alloy tin content when need (not straight), and the linotype is 12% antimony, 4% tin, and 84% lead if it's not depleted. A 50/50 mix of pure lead and linotype is a great alloy for rifle boolits and magnum handgun boolits. Linotype is getting harder and harder to find.....grab it!

Yes, but stupid to do so considering the expense. ... felix
