What with all the reloading shortages and cost pressures, I felt compelled to cast some bullets, using my adequate supply of molds, etc. All I lacked was some lead. I have plenty of hard metal, approx 20 Brinnell, but lacked some soft lead to alloy it with. I needed bullets approx in the 13 Brinnell range, for some low pressure rifle loads.
My favorite local supplier of bullet metals in right-sized ingots is Non-Ferrous Metals, Inc, located in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle, across the river from Boeing Field. If you live within driving distance of Seattle and need some lead alloys, I highly recommend them. Check their web site for a generous selection of alloys they can cook up to order, including Lyman No 2 (95-5-5), pure lead and pure tin. I ordered a 50 lbs batch of 20:1 lead-tin alloy to mix with my linotype-range scrap. Refreshed with some shiny new gas-check bullets, I'm off to the range tomorrow. - CW
