First, I have #2 - 90 parts lead, 5 parts tin, 5 parts antimony. Lyman #44 says that only #2 contains antimony.
I think #4 is 20:1, lead to tin
What is #6? Must be closer to pure lead.

Lyman Reloading Handbook #44, page 227, shows the different weights of a #311291 cast with #2 (170gr), #4 (174 gr), and #6 (175 gr). The gas check adds about 3 gr to the weight. Looking at the #6, I'd sorta guess it is greater than 20:1. 30:1???
