Jack and Paul,

Thanks for the great info. I'm heading straight for Buffalo Arms and I'm also gonna get the Six Gunner notes. The 50/50 is pretty expensive at about $10 a bar. I found 3 bars of 63/37 (63% tin) at Boeing Surplus for $7 each. I think the 63/37 was a great deal at 2.5lbs each. I just worry about making them too hard. Will this affect pressures? I would think harder means more resistance to conforming to the lands and grooves and would thereby increase pressure. I think I'll post another question on the board. Thanks folks for all the input.
