I've got a real problem. I don't shoot black powder, but I have at least a half ton od dead soft lead.
Not a problem, you say? I live in Alaska.
I cast from wheelweights and tin. I also add the occasional bit of lino. On an experimental basis, I have been known to add a touch of magnum shot. Even added 6% silver one time. Never straight lead.
I am not really into loading the mailman down with 50lb boxes,either. What I really need is to find someone in my area to trade for WW, Lino, or money. Can anyone help? :castmine:

I have the same problem, plenty of pure lead; and started mixing it 50/50 with the WW I have. Water dropped they come out about 10bhn. The thing you have to watch out for is if your bullets were coming out close to the size you need with your harder alloy they may be a little small with a 50/50 mix.

Of course if you get someone to trade, problem solved:-D
