Scrounged up some pewter objects today to melt down for the tin content. Or would that pew-pew-pewter since it's gun related? Pewter is 85% to 98% tin.
Spent $6.00 on the items. Recovered 12oz. of tin. Pretty good deal since tin is running about $25.00 for 16oz. shipped.
At the bottom of the pot was a bit of yellowish material. Has to be bronze. Since bronze is a combination of copper and tin. And pewter contains just a percentage or two of copper.
Checkit!
Not reloading related but I have seen some putting powdered tin in bottom paint which will keep almost anything from attaching to your hull. Illegal in the US/parts of the carribean only, in other countries it is pre-mixed from the manufacturer. This info is 5 years old.
My reloading bench is being moved to my office which is currently stripped for new bench/desk, paint,, and an extra window for more light.
Loaded about 1200 rnds 147 gr. 9mm in the last week .... which may be gone after this warm stretch of weather on the way
In search of reduced load for 7mm remmag, picked up a new Vortex scope from Gun Connection, yesterday. Good guys, great MDS price. yeah that is a partial shout out.
