Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sold by the ingot, so the total quantity is approximate rather than exact by weight.
- This is a casting alloy, not a finished bullet or component, so it requires the buyer to already be set up for bullet casting.
- The alloy is a fixed blend of 64.5% lead, 23% antimony, and 12.5% tin, which leaves little room to tailor the mix without additional materials.
- At $69.59 per roughly 5-pound ingot, it is a specialized material purchase rather than a general-purpose shooting accessory.
