At one time Ranch Dog had a recommended alloy. As I recall it was 9#'s of WW, something else, and an ounce of chilled shot. What was the "something else"?

Mrs. Thumbcocker shot a hog with a Ranch Dog boolit cast of acww at 2100 or so. Bang flop.

Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Was it 9 lbs. pure lead 1 lb linotype 1 oz Crown Royal?
Wheel weights and pure lead at about half and half with a bit of tin has a broad range of use.

I have his PDF load notes for .35 REM. They say "Lyman #2 clone."

Hard to go wrong with #2 alloy in 30 cal rifles.
OaheDoug,
welcome to the forum.
I bet if you sat down with Michael, He'd ask you what your application is, before he'd give you a recommended alloy. If there is a long lost post of his, about a recommended alloy recipe, I'm sure there would be context to why that recipe is recommended.
If I was pushing a dip-lubed RD boolit down a Levergun barrel pointed toward a piggy, I would use water-quenched 50-50 COWW/pure lead.
