Lead, lead and more lead or maybe something else

[Hooper]

I do not cast any shot and so far all the bullets I make are not for sale, only used by myself and friends. I am about to start selling lead and Linotype. I do want to start casting .310 dia rounds for reduced load rounds in 30 cal.

are you still selling the linotype?

are you still selling the linotype?

I still have a dozen or so of the 40# slugs left that end up being 2/3 Linotype when smelted to ingots. I am sending samples of the smelted slugs off to have analyzed to confirm tin and antimony is the same as the first samples I sent off. I do have both 95% tin solder and Lino that is for sale

For really slow 30 cal I found the short Lee .311-100-2R bullet groups better than the longer 170 gr. or 230 gr. bullet. That .311 is made for the 32-20 etc etc.

Turns out I have the lyman 311316 and 311356 molds, have not used and not sure what the as cast diameter will be. 120 grain but both gas check. I may give those a try as 1,000 or less fps 30/30 and 300BO single load rounds for the kids.
