    You know, I think back a year or so ago, I made the wild statement that COWW lead has less than 2% antimony and often less than 1% tin, and I caught a lot of static for saying that.
    Interesting results in the previous pages for all the naysayers. Science is a real turd aint it?
    So much of this sport started as science and has morphed into nothing more than a big fish story.

    Got awful quiet in here once some real data started getting posted.
    Keep it up BNE. We need to know what you have to say.
    Thank you!
    Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.

    "clip-on WW with 2% pure tin added.
    Pb= 95.1%
    Sb= 2.6%
    Sn= 2.2%"


    You were right about the tin. Cbrick's web site has/had COWW 97.5% lead, 2% antimony, and .5% tin which was close. Numbers close enough to work with. Testing confirmed that he is an expert fluxer getting to 99.9% alloy with the remainder being arsenic it is presumed. You were also right to caution me against wasting money on testing as no caster in good standing would do so unless it was necessary. It was not necessary. All of this was very interesting.
