Sure looks like it! After seeing the pics I had to go look the alloy up. When I saw the 2-2-96 alloy in the earlier post I automatically thought of 2-6-92 that the commercial casters are using these days and it's quite hard. 4% difference in antimony makes a big difference. I used to cast a lot but it's been years since I've messed with it. I have the great Lyman 358156 gas check mold and I might have to break it back out after seeing this!
