Goodfellow sell it, they are in Huntingdon.

But their goods-in/despatch guys are right grumpy.

Never heard of them - I'm looking now though.

Many thanks.

I think I'll try using moonrock - it's cheaper.

Simplest option is probably going to be to buy the cheapest (by weight) pre-cast bullets and then melt them down and recast them. You can occasionally get a really good deal on stuff that isn't shifting in a shop.

Hmmm, sounds like a plan to me. Sadly, my local dealer is very loathe to part with anything, even for money. Most everything in the place seems to move with great alacrity - at least, that's how it seems to me - everything I want is gone when I get there......

Tac, sorry about the link... ... Their Tin is 99.9995% pure, so that is probably the reason for the price.

As for the dealer, did they look in the wooden drawers below the reloading stuff...

I will have a scout about and see what I can find. Does it have to be Tin?

Another thought is you could use 60/40 solder and calculate the correct amount to add. It is only lead, tin and a bit of resin which will burn off.
