Thread: Casting.....lead, tin and Antimony supply?

Hello casters,

I’m new to casting and bought a Lee casting pot (the bigger one) and a .44 die, gloves etc and have used up my first 4.5 kg of Lyman #2. I was hoping to go next level and make my own alloy. Do any of you make your own? Have you got a good recipe for a good cowboy .44 mix and suppliers for your materials?

I’ve looked at TM and lots of lead is available but some could be crap and a bit of an unknown. Lots of got sheet lead that looks ok. Where would one get Tin and Antimony from?

Just looking for an easy pathway for materials. I don’t need to make lots, maybe around 20kg a year worth of bullets.

Cheers
