    high tin content solder slab ingots.

    This solder has been removed from service when copper content is at 1%.
    Original content was 96.5% tin, 3.0% silver and .5% copper.
    XRF from same source tested at 95.7 tin, 3.3 silver, 1.0 copper.
    Weights shown were placed on ingots by original long time forum member when they were poured by him.
    Price includes shipping to 50 states. Payment by USPS MO

    Added information for those that might not understand the benefit of silver in a lead alloy. Particularly posts, 13, 16 and 19.

    I have had a comment that the price might be high for the amount of tin content. Perhaps so, but this is mostly a fund raiser for Junior Shooters in VA. I recover my cost and expense and forward the rest for consumable materials.

    I have plenty of Tin, but I will make this comment - The Copper and the Silver in this alloy will significantly increase your "toughness". Should be a great additive to anyone wanting a good hollow point.

    Free bump!

    Bump to give it a couple of weeks and then back on the shelf to watch the tin prices go even higher.
