I'm casting for .38 and .40 cal. I have about 50 lbs of what I suspect is pure lead.
From what I understand, I can use pure lead (with perhaps 2% tin to help fill out in the mold). Will this also work for my .40?
I've heard that wheel weights work great as is because they already have tin an antimony. I've also heard of mixing wheel weights with pure lead to make the pure lead useable for higher pressure loads.
Since I think I'll be able to find more pure lead than wheel weights, what is the suggested ratio of wheel weights to pure lead to make it useable in for my .40?
