I've got a bunch of pure lead. I've also got a bunch of Monotype. I'm trying to see what the recipe would be for Lyman #2 assuming the Mono is still 9/19.
I also have tin if needed.

Any ideas? I can find several Recipies for #2 using WW W/ Lino.

You won't be able to get there completely without adding tin, but you can make a poor man's Lyman #2.
3.5 lbs Monotype + 10 lbs Pure = alloy with 2.3% tin, 4.9% antimony

If you can get some tin, then try this:
3.75 lbs Monotype + 10 lbs Pure + 0.375 lbs Tin = alloy with 5% tin, 5% antimony

I figured that I may have to add some tin. I have plenty enough tin.
