A method of making a rotary drill bit comprises forming a hollow mould for moulding at least a portion of the bit body, packing at least a part of the mould with powdered matrix material, and infiltrating the material with a metal alloy in a furnace to form a matrix, the alloy being a copper based alloy containing phosphorus and being selected to provide an infiltration temperature which is not greater than 850 DEG C. and preferably not greater than 750 DEG C.
