I haven't been casting (or shooting) for some time because my tiny stock of WW's ran out. I tried 50% WW/50% lead, and got quite a bit of lead buildup in the barrel of my .45, then ran out of even that.
A couple of weeks ago, the electrician at work dug up some ancient telephone main line that was hundreds of paper wrapped copper wires encased in lead pipe. He sold all of the lead to me for $.30 a pound, so now I am busy melting down about 200 lbs of that.
So, considering that the WW/lead mix didn't work out to well, what kind of alloy could I buy for a reasonable price that I could mix in to get something similar to WW alloy?
Is there something else I might try to cut back on the leading from the softer mixture?
