    Another way to tell if your lead is pure is to get it from me! I use 496 for Henry and Sharps. It is 4% tin and 96% pure. I can scratch it with my fingernail but I wouldn't want to shoot it in my musket.

    Fred,
    I'll be ordering some lead from you for delivery at the Spring Nationals. Thanks!
