If you are looking for some tungsten rod for a TIG welder you should be able to get it at any welding supply place.

Quoted: If you are looking for some tungsten rod for a TIG welder you should be able to get it at any welding supply place. Nope. I'm going to have them machined into .30 SLAP projectiles for a .50 BMG [@:D] Just got the sabots today [:D] |

It's detachable.
Most all muzzle brakes won't work with sabots of any kind... Recoil with a .30 Projectile should be tollerable enough for me to remove the brake.. |

Quoted: BTW, have you thought of trying .30 AP rounds? Yeah, but they aren't nearly in the league as Tungsten SLAP's... You figure they have a Steel .22 core, compared to a solid tungsten .30 Dart. I may rip off the Sierra match king design for my projectiles.. |

Shotgun News has a great story this week about building your own .50 cal rifle.
[sniper] That would be a great winter project. |

do you have any idea how hard (rockwell "c" scale) tungsten carbide is?
i take it that you are going to grind the projectile shape? |

Sounds like you know bertter than I do.
Can't be turned on a lathe? |

Sure you can use a lathe,...You just need a tool post grinder, and some diamond wheels.
