Re: Lead allowed?

Tungsten is pretty dense stuff. Even Tungsten Carbide isn't bad. If you can find scrap electrodes from TIG welders or get scrap carbide mills and inserts from a machine shop they would work OK if you can pack them closely. Most recent price I saw for Tungsten shot was $24./lb. Scrap carbide tooling is maybe $8./lb.
