I am considering getting into casting my bullets. Digging through some old stuff from my days before retirement in the elevator industry I found a laddle and several bars of babbit. The babbit was used to pour shackles for elevator cables and also bearings for large slow turning machines.
Ouestion: would the babbit be suitable for bullets?? Would it neet to mixed with something softer such as wheel weights or is it OK as is? I have no idea what it's composition. I do know we heated it in the laddle over a propane pot before pouring it.
Thanks,
