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.

I have a friend still trying to get rid of a goodly pile of linotype and
monotype material - contact me if interested (remember, don't reply here,
