Big Bunny, linotype is generally about 84% lead, 4% tin, and 12% antimony. This would make some VERY HARD shot (BHN 22)! Magnum shot runs from about 3-6% antimony, which translates to about 9-11 on the Brinell scale.
Plain old wheel weights have 4% antimony and produce shot of 9 BHN.
I have my reservations about these little electric shotmakers. They produce very crude shot of varying sizes and roundness. However, if the price of shot keeps going up around here, I may buy one of these little gizmos for practice loads and "brush/spreader" loads.
Regards! DaMan
