[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 1195550, member: 51650"] Back in the day some casters used a zinc alloy similar to Zamak to cast bullets. They were lighter by about 30% than lead and harder. As I recall the author shot the same bullet into a log three times recovering it with a knife and loading it again. If they are quite hard that is probably what they are made of. Just dropping them into a solution of copper sulfate will copper plate the zinc. Where did they come from originally? KB [/QUOTE]
