Super Hard Alloy Metal Ingot - 5 pounds (30%-Antimony, 70%-Lead)

From my POV, finding anitmony to add to dead-soft scrap lead I've been fortunate to be given has been problematic. Sure I could add high-quality bagged lead "target shot", but with this product providing me 30% antimony (instead of say 5%), I think this is a more direct route to obtaining to modest middle-of-the-road alloys I'm using for standard target -velocity pistol bullets. You'll need a decent scale and a way to cut the ingots if you have an old 10-lb Lyman or SAECO pot like I use because at say 4 or 5 % antimony, you'll be cooking up say 4 batches of alloyed ingots with each bar. Because of this, it Rotometals might consider making this alloy available in a form like a Toblerone candy bar so us homeboy bullet casters can cut it easier. Thanks for the nice product. I don't know where else I can get it. It is certainly shipped fast, too!

effective source of antimony; weights of ingots were accurate and fair; expect this to work well for casting bullets

I add this to pure cleaned salvaged lead along with tin to make Lyman #2 (92Pb, 6Sb, 2Sn) alloy for cast conical bullets. It works great and the alloy achieves the proper Brinell Hardness Number 14.

I add one pound of this to pure lead along with linotype to get the hardness I'm looking for.

Received 5.05, 5.09, and 4.98 pound bars; ordered three. Items as described and I have used these in the past, along with tin, to make casting alloy from excess lead from stick on wheel weights and range scrap. One 5# bar with roughly 40-45# of lead seems to get a nice pistol bullet alloy: so 45-50# of alloy per bar.

This is great stuff. I used an ingot of super hard to make up a batch of #8 alloy from the LASC super hard formulas page. One ingot of super hard produced 33.75 pounds of BHN 13 alloy. This can be water quenched for rifle bullets, or cut 50/50 with pure lead for pistol bullets.

This should work great for mixing with all the lead pipe and solder I've gotten over the years

I've been using this alloy for years to get hardball alloy from wheel weights. I cut 1lb chunks from the ingot using a wood cutting bandsaw. Recipe is 7.5 lbs of rendered clip on weights, 1 lb of superhard alloy and 400 grains of 63/37 high tin solder. The alloy is used for casting .30 carbine bullets from NOE mold, 120 grs round nose with gas check. 13 grs of lil gun drives this bullet at 1900 ft/sec and 3" groups at 100 yds.

Product works exactly as described. But I could not believe that an order placed on a Tuesday morning, would be received on Wednesday afternoon, during the week of Christmas!
