Default Antimony = Animal meat ?

Took my girl to the range today.....

I am shooting bullets that I cast, and was talking to the guy that owns the range about my bullets hanging up when the cycle up from the mag. he was looking at my bullets and said they are to soft and i should add some antimony......

when we got into the car my girlfriend looked at me with a puzzle look and asked.....

why do we need to add "animal meat" to the lead to make it harder? LMAO

antimony will make your bullets harder. If you use animal meat your bullets will flat out, stink...

If you are using WW alloy you could try water dropping them to get them harder, but they could end up too hard.

If you end up using animal meat let us know how it turns out. Try some with a lot of fat. Maybe you'll invent the first self lubing bullet alloy.
