Description
The Linotype alloy consists of 4% tin, 12% antimony and 84% lead; each bar measures approximately 8-3/4" x 1" x 2" and weighs approximately 5 lbs (+/- .25). 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.

I can't say enough good things about the linotype ingots and any of the other ingots I purchased from RotoMetals. There's no need to worry if the metal you purchased aligns with the BHN it supposed to have. I never had an issue. And even though I'm going to eventually melt them down after I get them, the ingots received from RotoMetals have a visual appeal that almost wants you to not melt them down. Lol Awesome job RotoMetals for taking the time to worry about appearance of your ingots. I highly recommend RotoMetals for your casting needs and wants.

The 5 pound linotype alloy I purchased from RotoMetals is well above what I expected. The bar was delivered super fast, hassle-free ordering, and clean. I would definitely recommend purchasing this alloy for all who cast their own bullets. The BHN is between 20 and 22. Excellent as stand alone alloy as well as an additive to your range scrap to increase its BHN. Thank you RotoMetals for doing the hard work for us and making it that much easier for bullet casters.
