Can anyone identify this alloy?

I "found" a bunch of this bar stock it's soft and flexible but my finger nail won't quite mark it. As you can see in the picture it has an "M" cast into the ends and middle. As I'm sure you can guess I want to know what the contents of it are so I know what I should be blending it with.

Alloy

Not much info on the bar is there? I wonder if it's Monotype? Could be useful as a WW additive if it is. On the other hand if you turn it the other way it's a W. You might melt some and cast a bullet and weigh it. Lyman and RCBS cast manuals have some info on comparative weights.

Could it be 50-50 bar??? Half tin, half lead??

I think it's softer than Monotype. I just hope someone tell by the shape of the bar.

hi
It is body shop filler(AN alloy lead) used for old style restorations,I have a bunch ,they make great decoy weights as they are long enough to wrap around decoy necks

They would be about 75% lead, and 25% tin, so it could be close to the right mix.. I you decide not to use them, I would be willing to buy them off of you to do autobody work. Bondo just does not work the same.

That would be a bit of shipping to alberta I would think. But if you want some everything is for sale
