I can get 4/11/85 or 5/11/84 Linotype in 8.5Kg segmented ingots, 50 Kg minimum order.

I was planning to go 50/50 with pure lead to make something like 2/6/92 hardball for my 30/30.

Which one should I buy?

I am leaning to the 5% tin to make up for the 0.5% loss in antimony?

i'd get the 4/11
then cut it in half with pure lead.
then cut that in half again with pure lead.
i'd probably let the boolits fall out of the mold into some water and then wait a couple months to shoot them.
unless you have a way to push them past full jaxketed velocity's, the above works.
