One other way to get tin is to find stuff made out of Pewter. We always look for it when we go to garage sales. Have also found it at the thrift stores. The candle holders that are made out of it are kinda of a false weight. They usally fill the base with clay.
Lead free solder. Very $$$$
Tin mainly helps on the fillout of the bullet. It does help to harden it too. But over about 2%, you are wasting $.
I have used magnum lead shot also. I have close to 300lbs of right now. I bought this years ago when it was $13.95/ 25lb bag. Price it now!
My FIL has close to 2500lbs of Lino so I don't need to look for stuff to harden my lead. He does not cast anymore but will not sell any of it. I can have what I need, but that is it. Another friend does contract work for the phone company and gives me all the lead wire phone cable I want. This is PURE lead. I have close to 800 lbs of this melted down right now.
WW's is what I can not find anymore. They are a thing of the past. So start finding a replacement. That is why I am hording everything lead related right now.
