Description

This is a mix box of Lino metal pieces and letters previously used for printing.
Pieces range in weight from 1/10th ounce to 2.0 ounces. 
Some other floor sweeping debris may be inside. 
 
Only a few thousand pounds left. Hurry, order now... once its gone, its gone!
Sold by the Box ~34 pounds.
This very hard alloy was designed to completely fill the molds used in the printing process prior to the development of computerized typesetting in the late 20th century.
It is a bit hard for silhouette shooting or hunting bullets, as it tends to shatter when hitting metal plates or heavy bones. 
It is very good for higher velocity rifle bullets when target shooting. 
Often used as a basis for blending special alloys that require a higher percentage of antimony. 
If you have a good local source of pure lead, blend it 1 to 1 with Linotype alloy to produce Hardball alloy. 
 
 
The Brinell Hardness of this Linotype alloy is about 22.

    Lino alloy pieces

    Posted by Wayne Catt on Jun 7th 2025

    I was looking for a simple way to alloy my pure lead to make it a little harder and to fill out the molds better. It has allowed me to get at least BHN 12 without much trying. I would it this product again.
