The sp gravity of tungsten is 19.22 verses lead at 11.34 you would save about 50% of the weight added to do the same job. I will look at buying the amount needed to help everyone in this but I will charge around 11. to 12. dollars a pound . This buy will happen after the sun&fun show I hope. If this price is ok with you let me know. Also if you buy tungsten power or bits you will not save as much - only 14.5 verses 11.34 and the only thing with that is the cost is higher than lead and no real sp difference. billmaddox@speedbrakes.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
