Hi USSR1991,
Please explain why I shouldn't melt and mix raw antimony into an alloy. (other than cost). I already have the lead and enough tin for the project. All I need is about $60.00 worth of antimony if I can alloy it to come up with about 7000 bullets. That is pretty cheap shooting.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
