« on: June 15, 2009, 08:15:54 AM »
Doesanyone know what alloy`s are present in the lead that is used in dental x-ray slides?
Also what is the ballpark BHN hardness of this lead?
How many use this for casting bullets?

Someone else will have to confirm, but I think it's pretty close to pure lead (very soft).  Bhn should be around 6.
