I have close to 50 lbs. of pure lead and want to alloy it to be close to the same hardness as wheel weights. What should I mix it with?

You can certainly alloy away and get what you want, and Shiloh has steered you to a good reference source. But it might be cheaper and quicker to find somebody on this forum that will trade you 1:1 WWs to pure lead, each pay same shipping charges, about $10 to ship USPS flat rate box. Go to Swapping and Selling. Lots of guys like pure lead for muzzle loaders and such and may have WWs for trade.

If you go this route be sure to reinforce box well!
