yes, thanks for the site!

he's definitely fos about tin not hardening the alloy. Pure tin results in a very hard cast bullet indeed. Antimony "crystallizes out" of lead. Tin helps the antimony to remain properly alloyed with the lead. Split Nose bullets are 95% tin, 5% antimony, cast straight out of "non lead" solder.
