I have started a small buisness casting lead hand gun bullets.. from 32acp to 45. i have been till recently using lead wheel weights but i am having a hard time getting enough... i have started ordering pure lead from metal distrubutors. is that the kind used? i have heard of tin being added to it. whats the bennifit of tin? i am also using old lead pipes but that seems to be brighter in color. i want a brinell hardness of 18 or 19. i also drop them in icewater after they come out of the mold. any sudgetstions as to the kinds of lead i shout use?
