[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2455919, member: 108576"] I got my lead bars from Roto-Metals as listed above by Kickeer but for 45-70 I use 4 ounces of SuperHard bar and a bar of lead with 3%Antimony and Tin. That gives me about 22 on the hardness scale which is Hard Cast but if I cast for my 30 calibers I don't want it that hard as with a softer lead compound it gets a bit larger as it hits resistance,Hard Cast won't or so I was told.Don't know which works best as I have killed an elk and a black bear with Hard Cast and they fell within 10 feet of where they were hit. Thats why I wanted to ask those that do it all the time. [/QUOTE]
