Methods for producing medium-density articles from recovered high-density tungsten alloy (WHA) material, and especially from recovered WHA scrap. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes forming a medium-density alloy from WHA material and one or more medium-to low-density metals or metal alloys. In another embodiment, medium-density grinding media, such as formed from the above method, is used to mill WHA scrap and one or more matrix metals into particulate that may be pressed and, in some embodiments, sintered to form medium-density articles therefrom.

I claim: 1. A method for producing tungsten-containing firearms projectiles, the method comprising: producing a particulate from a supply of tungsten-containing scrap having a density of at least approximately 15 g/cc and having a composition formed from at least 70% of at least one of tungsten and a tungsten alloy, wherein at least a majority of the scrap is selected from the group consisting of machine turnings, chips, flakes, rod ends, broken articles and rejected articles; mixing the particulate with at least a metallic component formed from at least one of a metal and an alloy having a density less than approximately 15 g/cc to produce a particulate product composition therefrom; and forming from the product composition a firearm projectile having a density in the range of approximately 8 g/cc to approximately 15 g/cc. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the producing step includes milling the supply of tungsten-containing scrap with grinding media formed at least in part from at least one of tungsten and a tungsten alloy. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixing step includes heating the product composition to form a generally homogenous solution and further wherein the forming step includes casting an article from the solution. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixing step includes heating the product composition to form a generally homogenous solution and further wherein the forming step includes forming an article from the solution by quenching droplets of the solution. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the forming step includes pressing, without sintering, the product composition into a firearms projectile having a density in the range of approximately 8 g/cc to approximately 15 g/cc. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the forming step includes pressing and sintering the composition into a firearms projectile having a density in the range of approximately 8 g/cc to approximately 15 g/cc. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the mixing step further includes mixing a high-density component having a density greater than 15 g/cc with the particulate and the metallic component. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the supply of scrap is obtained without requiring chemical processing of the scrap to recover tungsten therefrom. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the metallic component includes at least one of zinc, tin, copper, bismuth, aluminum, nickel, iron, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, and alloys thereof. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the metallic component includes at least one of copper, zinc, tin and alloys thereof. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the metallic component includes at least one of tin and a tin alloy. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the metallic component forms approximately 20-70% by weight of the alloy. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein the high-density component includes an alloy comprising tungsten, nickel and iron. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein the high-density component includes ferrotungsten. 15. The method of claim 7, wherein the high-density component includes tungsten.
