    Want to TRADE pure lead for harder alloys.

    I have 6 @ FRSBs of pure lead, that I’d like to TRADE for harder alloys.

    Source was reclaimed lead pipe, from broken water mains. No solder, or other joints included.
    Melt was fluxed several times, with saw dust, then wax.
    Was double checked, with Muriatic Acid- No Reactions.
    Lee BHN Tester yielded consistent 4.5 - 5 BHN on random samples.

    Muffin tin yielded approximately, 2-1/4 x 3-1/2 x 1-5/8 ( Hand Soap Bar Size ) @ approximately 3.3 - 3.5 lbs.
    Lee mold 1’s

    Each cover shipping.

    Box 1 20.34 lbs. Hondolane’s. SHIPPED
    Box 2 20.21 lbs. Hiwall55’s. SHIPPED
    Box 3 19.84 lbs. Jevyod’s. Shipped
    Box 4 19.84 lbs. Green Frog’s. SHIPPED
    Box 5 19.84 lbs. SSGOldfart’s. SHIPPED
    Box 6 19.46 lbs. hawkenhunter50’s. SHIPPED

    Hi.
    I’d like to build a stock of COWW equivalent. As I can use that for several rifle and pistols, and I can cut it further, with more pure, to get 50/50 equivalent for hp’s.
    I can use even harder alloys, as I still have lots of pure, to cut with, as needed.

    Krh1326,

    I have more of various alloys than I’ll ever shoot, including a couple of hundred lb of Monotype letters… harder than Linotype so a little goes a long way. I consider it a bit more expensive than pure lead or COWWs, but if you don’t get your current supply traded as needed and want to make some sort of accommodation price-wise, we can talk. Drop me a PM if you’re interested in, say, a small flat rate box worth.

    I would quickly make a deal with you, but unfortunately, the transportation costs would be too high.
