    bhn means squat.
    you need to know what alloy they used to get there.
    20-1 is about 12 bhn so are ww's with some tin mixed in.
    range scrap makes about 10 bhn on average it's a jumble of stuff from a back stop..

    If you want real 20 or 25:1, you have to make it out of pure Lead and Tin, no Antimony or anything else. If all you want is an equivalent, then we need more info as to your stocks. As R5R observes, bhn of ingredients means very little when you go to make a new mix.

    If you want to use that alloy calculator and don't have Microsoft Excel you can download OpenOffice which is a free office suite that will run the alloy calculator.

    http://www.openoffice.org/download/ The calc program from open office is the same as Excel.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
