sitsinhedges Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 My supplier may have some scrap linotype available for mixing with your shotmaking lead to harden it. Alloy 1 lino to 3 lead pour into ingots then make harder shot with that. PM me if you want some, it comes in 15kg pacels at £30 and 30kg parcels at £45. I'm doing this to help you and him out, no tyre kickers or timewasters please. Very hard to get hold of now and I have enough for my own needs.

00buck Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is it the shot you are selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is it the shot you are selling I'm not selling anything. I am purely putting shotmakers in touch with someone who has linotype for sale. It's purely helping forum members for nothing which is why I don't want it turning in to hard work.

Vince Green Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Mine arrived yesterday, thanks very much for arranging that for us. Its not actually linotype its monotype which is even harder! You can mix that 5:1 or 6:1 and still make incredibly hard shot. This is probably going to get converted into bullets as soon as my source of soft lead (a local plumber) turns up some more. Even he is turning up a lot less than he used to for me. Otherwise its up on the church roof next week for me. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
