Hello bullet casting forum folks,
I've been making my own B.P.C.R. alloy of 20:1 for quite a spell, and haven't had to purchase tin for a few years. Last time I bought it, I believe it was about 7 bucks a pound. Generally, it's more than twice that now... I see there's an offering on ebay from Hallmark metals for a bar that weighs between 6 and 7 pounds for 92 bucks and free shipping. Anyone out there used this tin for bullets? Seems like a fair enough deal and they claim it's 99.8% pure. Looks like they've sold quite a bit of it, so I'm kind of interested. Any comments would be appreciated on the product. Should come out to just under 14 bucks a pound delivered.
Thanks for any info,
reinert
