    alloy mixtures

    hi guys my old lyman #44 gives the following for making your own alloy.5 1/2 lbs wheelweights 1 lb 50/50 bar solder 3 1/2 lbs lead makes 10 lbs lyman #2 alloy. or 4 lbs line-o-type 1 lb 50/50 bar solder and 5 lbs lead makes 10 lbs #2 alloy . i just came into 100 lbs line-o-type 100 lbs pure lead and 150 lbs wheelweights im wondering over the years if there are any new mixes concocted by you guys .im looking at pure tin it seems to be less then bar solder, using 1 lb of pure tin it looks like i can get 20 lbs of alloy with ether mix im i correct tks for your time ken
