Sources for Tin, Antimony

[Zenja]

Getting the bullet casting gear together,
looking for best sources for tin and antimony,
see they are available online from some manufacturing business,
some on Ebay,
can be a little pricey-any good sources would be appreciated

Lead free solder is 95% tin, that's what I use to dope the mix. Antimony is going to be a metal supplier, place in San Leandro that the name escapes me at the moment. Rotometals.com, advertiser at Cast Boolits.

I bought tin wire from rotometals. It is cut in chunks that are about 1.6 oz each, so I used two chunks for just over 10lbs of wheel weight alloy. A postal scale that goes to 10 lbs is very useful for measuring various products when loading. I can check a can of powder to see how much I have, weigh out 500 or 1000 cases quickly, or weigh lead or quantity of bullets.

Some people use pewter items......plates, candle holders, mugs, etc.
