So I have 4 known alloys ....tested that is only the wheel weights are "ok" for my needs.
What I am left with is a several alloys at around 1.5%-3% Sb and 98.5%-97%PB 300lbs or so then 75lbs of the lyman2/hardball type alloy
I load mostly target loads of 38spl and 45acp and rifle loads in the 1200-1700 fps range.
My plan is to use some of my non tin alloys and sweeten them up some with some solder 63/47( several bars) and or some known alloy of Sn 4.5% Sb 6.8% Pb 88.2% lyman2/hardball hybrid ? also have about 10lbs of "pewter"
my combined alloys look like this which is a blend of the lyman #2 and pewter to the Sb 1.7% Pb 98.3% alloy
Mixed Alloy Tin % Antimony % Arsenic % Copper % Silver % Lead % Weight Est. Hardness Unit Price ($ / lb) Price ($)
2.24% 2.10% 0.00% 0.03% 0.00% 95.6% 44.0 11.2 $0.30 $13.07
I can only do 50lb batches in my pot at a time.
my goal is to spread out my alloy for long term use. Lead still coming in but at a much slower pace.
I have wheel weight alloy as well.
