Isotope Cores

[richhodg66]

I have two big ones I got from somebody, shipped in a large flat rate box if I recall. What is the alloy content of these?

Kinda figured on using it for the basis of making a large batch of alloy to cast a bunch of rifle bullets to keep consistency for a mega casting session.

Anybody know what these are?

Rich; from what I understand they very in content. Some are almost pure while others are similar to COWW's. Only way to tell for sure is to have it analyzed.

OK, I need to get together a package to send to BNE, got a few different things I'd like to know for sure, guess these will be among them.

Did this research several years ago, there is no chemical composition requirement from the fed's, just performance data. So it can be anything, but not likely to have much tin or antimony, as they are expensive. Most I had analyzed is it is plumber's lead.

Ones I had were a little softer than COWW. They vary depending on where they came from.

Try this site to ID your containers. I do not recall the individual selling those on another forum at this time. I will edit when I recall it. Edit: "sqlbullet" on the other forum?

I picked up 10 of the CORE versions years ago. I found that 2x of them with a 5 lb. bar of super hard made up a nice alloy that was similar to wheel weights.

years ago there was a guy on the CB forum that had pictures of the various "vials" and there hardness and maybe alloy

Someone ...(Hammerlane I think?), sold the 31.5 lb cores and said they were 96-3-1, they came 2 in a Med FRB.

yep 1-3 is what i made the ones i had out to be too. [bout 4"s outside by @7-8"s high]
the smaller ones [3-4"s high] were more like 2.5-2.5 AIRC.

 

[Dusty Bannister]

Yes, Hammerlane was the one I was looking for, but found the other vendor first.
