I have a 73 lb chunk of lead from a shower pan that was given to me. I’d like to use it to cast as many 230 gr boolits as i can get from it.
I wonder if just adding enough tin to get good fill out for would suffice for 45 ACP (850-900 fps). I was thinking of trying to get by with 1% tin/pewter (about 12 oz) I mostly use my Lyman to lube with Felix lube but have been experimenting with Hi-Tek which worked pretty well for my 357.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Randy
