If you cast your own bullets, you know that alloy composition directly affects hardness, velocity, and accuracy downrange. The Brownells Superhard Bullet Casting Alloy is a 5-pound ingot formulated to harden recovered lead without the cost and complexity of sourcing pure antimony. Whether you're loading pistol rounds for competition or rifle ammunition for hunting, this alloy gives you a clean, controlled way to strengthen your casting metal and dial in bullet performance.
Made from virgin metals rather than scrap, this alloy arrives ready to charge your melting pot—no mystery impurities or contamination. The 70% lead and 30% antimony composition is engineered to melt at approximately 745°F, making it straightforward to work with in a standard casting setup. You're adding a known, consistent hardener to your recovered lead, which means more predictable results and less trial-and-error at the range.
Superhard is sold by the ingot with approximate weights, so you get roughly five pounds of ready-to-use alloy per purchase. For reloaders who process their own range brass and want to control every variable in the cartridge, this is a foundational material that pays off in consistency and cost savings over time.
| Weight | Approximately 5 pounds per ingot |
| Composition | 70% Lead, 30% Antimony |
| Melting Temperature | Approximately 745°F |
| Source | Virgin metals |
Pure lead is soft and can deform under high velocities. Adding antimony through a hardening alloy like Superhard increases the Brinell hardness of your finished bullets, which helps them maintain shape and consistency when fired. This is especially important for rifle rounds and high-velocity pistol loads.
Yes. This alloy is designed as a hardener for recovered lead. By mixing Superhard ingots with your collected range scrap, you create a consistent, hardened casting metal without the expense of sourcing antimony separately.
You'll need a bullet casting pot or furnace capable of reaching approximately 745°F. The ingot is added to your melting lead, mixed thoroughly, and then ladled into your bullet molds. Standard casting equipment used by reloaders will work.
No. Brownells Superhard is made from virgin metals, ensuring you're adding clean alloy without unknown impurities that might come from recycled or scrap sources.
