Depends what you're wanting to shoot, really.

I use clip-on wheelweights as-is for handgun boolits eg 9mm or .45acp - I'd use Lyman #2 for rifle (or dilute it down with straight lead to stretch it out if I wanted it for handgun boolits)

Six.

I have used both for 50 years.

Do you want an honest answer about which is best?



The one you happen to have in your shop at the moment.

Good. Although there is a lead wheel weight ban here in Illinois, I'm gonna try and snag some while I can. Some needs to figure out how to shoot zinc without any issues.

I have found local scrap yards have lots of lead for sale. You might want to see about stocking up now before they ban scrape yards from selling toxic material
