Lead melter

Going through a pile of 'important stuff' on my computer desk and came across a catalog from National Bullet Company dated 2001. Inside I also found some prices from 2/2004.
500-41 caliber, 225 grain SWC...2001 $22
500-41 caliber, 225 grain SWC...2004 $24
500-41 caliber, 225 grain SWC...2008 $51
Pretty good increase.
BTW, National says it uses 7% antimony, 2% tin for a BHN of 18. I have a bunch of these in 41 and 44 caliber. What sort of BHN would I get if I mixed equal weights of these and plain lead? My brain won't work that way.
