[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3009525, member: 43503"] Antimony is actually a metallic element, not an alloy. It is commonly alloyed with tin and lead to make bullet metal; I think the antimony is added to lend a small swelling effect on cooling in the mold, to ensure a dimensionally true cast. "Lyman #2 alloy (90% Lead, 5% Tin, 5% Antimony) The [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinell_scale']Brinell Hardness[/URL] of this Lyman 2 alloy is about ~ 16."
