linotype


Recommended Posts

Is it really linotype? individual pieces of type/letters is monotype and quite a lot harder than linotype which was used exclusively in Linotype machines to cast long lines of text. A process known as hot metal printing.

Tests in the past with hard shot, mostly in America, have shown no ballistic advantage once you get harder than about 2-3% antimony. In fact there is very little evidence that hard shot was ever more than a marketing gimmick to sell cartridges, but a few percent does prevent balling and may help in the drip forming a round shape more easily.

Antimony is more useful in hardening up cast bullets that have to grip the rifling
