We make no gurantee of hardness level. The hardness can and may vary. MidwayUSA sells 5 lbs of 99.9% pure lead for $23.99, plus shipping. Since we got a pretty good deal on the lead we currently have, we are passing that savings onto you.***

Lead in about 5 lbs increments for bullet casting. Ordering 10 is ordering about 50 lbs. These are great for cowboy shooting as they are, but if you want to harden them up, add tin and antimony with can be procured locally from junk yards or on line. Each bar is about 5" x 2.25" x 1.25"
Basic Rules for Hardening Lead-
For every 1% additional tin, Brinell hardness increases 0.3.
For every 1% additional antimony, Brinell hardness increases 0.9.
For a simple equation,
Brinell = 8.60 (Antimonial Lead) + ( 0.29 * Tin ) + ( 0.92 * Antimony )
