[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2230564, member: 4899"] The zinc crap started showing up years ago. I can usually tell just by how it feels that it is zinc, as long as I sort them all out by size. I've found an easier way to get to where I need to be. Several years back I bought some ingots of high mix tin & antimony and also a large quantity of linotype. I just shop around now for straight lead and add to it to get to the hardness I need or want. I don't know how much longer you will be able to find linotype as that's a dying industry. But there's still some out there. I got lucky and found enough to supply me and my decendants for quite a while. Just something to ponder now....... [/QUOTE]
