[QUOTE="ok-22shooter, post: 4320318, member: 42477"] Well, it is not lead. Sample off to east coast and will be a week or so b4 I get an analysis. The guy usually tells you lead, tin, and antimony %. Not sure if he can pick up other metals. I smelted COWW in one pot and 22 bullets and stick on WW in another on Friday. Left less than a 1/2" of pure lead in the bottom of the pot, maybe 5 pounds, and added less than a pound of my scrap metal. Instant oatmeal texture. checked temperature and around 750 deg F. Zinc SG gets the mass to about the 50# range. Problem is Zinc is not listed to perform the job that the shop is using the metal for. Bismuth does do the job, would expect the weight to be a little heavier. To late to call Borg Steel when I got home. The search goes on. [/QUOTE]
