Most of it is Linotype and if you mix 50/50 with lead you will have an equivalent the commercial casting alloy.

Down at the bottom of this page you will find a link to lasc.us Cast Bullet Notes. Go there and read to your heart's content. You will find most if not all the answers to your alloy questions and probably develop more as you do it!
