Stumbled onto some old babbit (used to make bearings in "T" models/etc. Someone told me it can be used to pour boolits. Anyone ever try it?

Got a pic? I've always wondered what it/they looked like.
Good stuff! Find out what the alloy content is. Best use for babbit is to improve your alloy. The babbit I bought was 85% tin. I could cast it as-is but the boolits would be way too hard (also had some antimony in it).
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
How much do you add to harden your alloy, and what BHN are you hardening to? thinking about buying some babbit for just this purpose, to make hard boolits for my microgroove marlin, which hates anything under 15bhn.
I'll be a nice to you as you'll let me be, or as mean as you make me be.
Polite society started dying the day it was no longer necessary for rude men to physically defend themselves from the consquences of their actions or words.
