Why don't they make rifle rounds out of tin?>not lead so you don't get dementia>soft like lead so you don't break your teeth
Begrudgingly checked.And the answer is because tin is only 2/3rds as dense as lead.
Copper is denser than tin and has other properties like malleability and ductility that make it better for bullets.
>>65618947tin is pretty soft, it's not silly puddy like lead, but it's way softer than bronze
>>65618960Bronze is more than twice as hard as copper.
>>65618888I always had this idea of having a thick (for a bullet or slug) tin jacket encase a lead core, but i figured there would be no way to guarantee that the lead core wouldn't smoosh out of the tin jacket unless it was absurdly thick.
>>65618960>>65618966Now I want bronze bullets.
>>65618973Check out beryllium copper and osmium.
>>65618888Tin is 27x more expensive than lead. You do the maff.
It’s not the lead in the projectile that causes the poising in the shooter it’s the lead used in the primer that gets put into the air.
>>65621501>>65621505I meant for hunting. people use copper monos and other expensive shit for huntingyou get lead exposure from eating an animal that got shot with lead
>>65621657>lead exposureNot enough to matter
>>65621694>eats lead bullets
>>65618888Most lead exposure issues are from the primer compound being an explosive mercury compound so it's non corrosive unlike older potassium/sodium chlorate/perclorate mixtures
>>656228841. You should be using copper or a binded bullet, bath would be cheaper and more effective than tin, with between 90 and 100% weight retention.2. If the bullet breaks up, you can clearly see the "bloodshot" meat, which you cut out anyways. Lead exposure from game meat is a scare tactic from leftist shithole states just trying to justify as many weapon/ammo bans as possible.
>>65622930>bath would be cheaper
>>65618888i'm sure some bubba has done it before.
>>65618888>>65618895>>65618947also worth noting that tin is a rather rare metalnot as rare as gold, but still 50x as costly as lead and 3x as costly as copperunless the tin is capable of turning your bullets into armor piercing cannon rounds, its not worth it
This is lead and it made its way all the way down from his lower neck before stopping in his hindquarters.
>>65625251is it hard cast?
>>65625254I'm not sure, I just know it's an older Brenneke slug I used last year. I've shot two bucks with that load, I recommend it , they go down very quickly
>>65625254This:https://www.brennekeusa.com/details/SL-203M?cHash=62cd04e8a94a7fcfcc59cd55f5b386f2
I think tin is a lot lighter than lead. You'd end up with velocity and stabilization issues
>>65625256>>65625260hmm, idk where it's pulling the info from, but jewgle AI says the brenneke slugs are a lead antimony alloy and idk if it's HARD CAST TM but antimony is one of the metals (antimony, tin and/or silver) that's used to alloy with lead to create hard cast rounds.
>>65625273a lighter round can theoretically be able to be given a higher velocity than a heavier one if fired with the same amount of propellantwhat you actually lose is sectional densityits faster at the muzzle but experiences more air resistance and drops off in velocity fasterand while no handgun round is piercing any armor, the reduced mass with the same surface area means you are penetrating less of itwhich can be an issue if firing through metal barriers
>>65625282>higher velocityThen you need a very tough bullet to survive that stabilization and not break apart enroute through the barrel. A round like that may not be very good for hunting
>>65621501This. I cast miniatures in mostly tin professionally and I wish I could get away with using lead like they used to.
>>65625319what is white metal?
