As lead in wheel weights disappears the only ones available are the old recovered ones. All new wheel weights in my area have gone to zinc, iron and even aluminum. I predict within a year all the old/lead will be gone and I will have only what I have. Which is not near enough!
The thought has occurred to me... are zinc bullets doable? Is there any reason zinc - or some alloy using zinc wheelweights - can't be used? I can have a near limitless supply of zinc wheelweights after the lead is all gone. So is there a zinc recipe and what would be the restrictions, i.e. velocity, caliber, sizing, gas checks, etc.
I appreciate any experience from those that have already experimented.
