I'll tell ya scout, I know how hard it is to find. I've only found two places to get tin that I can trust to be tin. First is Roto. It's high but I've not found another source that's commercial and a business that's got it in stock when you need it. The other place I've gotten tin, and for a lower price is on the website castboolits.com, they have a sub forum called selling /swapping , many members sell pewter and some sell tin. I picked up 5 one ounce bars of 99.5 pure tin for half of what Roto costs. And, if your a caster, it's a casting forum you should join. It's an amazing site for casters.

Here's the five bars plus one ounce of tin wire clipping from Roto.

This might help you. A 20 to1 is going to give you a BHN hardness of 10. You can get the same 10 BHN if you mix equal parts of pure lead and wheel weights. Here's a alloy calculator I use when mixing alloy for different hardness requirements.

Here's the website for the calculator.

Thank you sir for the info. I joined a little while back under the same user name. Go look at at post I made over there for a recent rifle I purchased. Tons and tons of info. I am currently trying to source clip on wheel weights but the shops I’ve called aren’t interested in playing ball. I’ll keep trying. Thanks for the lead on the swapping forum

Just finished my day at the bench. Dirty hands and a floor covered in spent primers and powder flakes. Back after it tomorrow. Going to load 200 rounds of .308.

Been waiting to order in 25 pounds of super hard alloy ingots from Roto metals. Finally got the order in an it arrived last week. I needed to make some lead alloy around 12-13 BHN. I used 15 pounds of super hard and 80 pounds of pure lead. Now I've 95 pounds of 13 BHN for more boolits. With left over super hard alloy ingots for the next mix.

Nice looking chaser. Did you use a roll crimp on those cartridges? Could be just hard to see the actual crimp in them.

Thanks these are crimped with a lee factory crimp die. May be a little over crimped.

Actually Chaser 357, the reason I asked about the crimp was I couldn't see much of a crimp at the crimp location on the jacket groove. I have a LFC for almost all of my cast boolit calibers. Most of my roll crimping is done on jacketed bullets is with the specific reloading dies.
