Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

Shielding Alloy

A friend just gave me some "Shielding Alloy" that he thought was lead. It turns out to be 50% Bismuth, 26.7% Lead, 13.3% Tin, 10% Cadmium. Can this be used to cast bullets? The Cadmium sounds bad, has anyone ever tried to use this stuff?

Re: Shielding Alloy

Sounds like this stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%27s_metal Discussed for casting here by those who know more than I do: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...ight=Cerrobend

It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.
