Hi Matt
   I have found some tungsten in square bars but I need to buy 300 lbs or
more to make it work for all. 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
