Look for Linotype, it makes brilliant bullets. Check with newspaper printers and ask them how they dispose of their waste, you
won't regret it. The bullets will typically cast about 8% lighter than pure lead. They can be used to 1800FPS without gas checks
and not cause barrel leading. If I remember correctly, lead is around 9 or 10 on the Brinnel scale and Linotype is about 28/29,
which is considerably harder. Linotype bullets are much better penetrators and do not deflect off window glass like lead bullets
do. Don't ask how I know that.

And if you cast wheelweight bullets and dump them directly into a 5
gallon bucket filled with water, then size and lube them within a day or
so..within the next 7-10 days..they will harden up to around Bn 30 and
stay that way for up to 4 yrs..after which they will slowly soften back
down to 13-15

One supplier that sells casting lead and alloys is Rotometals. They are in California.

Anyone know a source in Michigan, Indiana or Ohio that sells the same? I'm tired of
scrounging, I just buy clean alloy and recycle my bullet traps.

- It has foisted a liar as president upon America.
- It has violated US national sovereignty in trade treaties.
- It has refused to enforce the national borders.

....It no longer has valid reasons to exist.
