Pure lead collection

[gwpercle]

You can blend the clip on wheel weights and soft lead in a 50-50 mix. and have a very useful alloy .
When I had a free unlimited WW supply I cast everything of straight WW's , it is actually a little too hard for general handgun use ..the 50-50 mix works better and makes a dandy hunting boolit in a rifle load .
The softer boolit of the proper size works better for general use.

You want to download the lead alloy calculator created by bumpo here on the forum. It is a sticky in the lead and lead alloy forum you are posting in.

Essentially an Excel spreadsheet that allows you to enter amounts next to common lead ingredients such as plain lead or COWW's and it will total up the final alloy composition and approx. BHN to be expected. Neatest thing since twist off caps on beer. If you do not have Microsoft Excel available then download the free Apache Open Office Suite during installation you can choose to install just the Calc program from the suite if you are low on disk space. This is a well established open source project that provides the same or at least similar functionality to the Microsoft Office suite. I use Open Office Calc application for the calculator spread sheet and it works fine. Free is a good price eh? Several governments have gone to using it since MS Office is so expensive and for most uses has more features than one needs.

Link to the free download. Google Apache Open Office and check out further if you want. Oh and they have versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux which is nice.
