Hey Gang,
I did a quick search and I found plenty of lead to tin ratios. However, I have loads of pure/soft lead and quite a bit of Linotype. Can anyone point me to a simple calculator where I can punch in different weights of both lead and Linotype and calculate the approximate BHN hardness and see what affect more/less linotype has on the BHN harness?
I don't have enough wheel weights to mix with my pure lead, nor do I have vast quantities of tin or pewter. What I have is Linotype.
Thanks for any help.
