[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 3009209, member: 108576"] With the addition of antimony and tin. Look on youtube and see some formulas on mixes. Antimony is hard to get hot enough to melt raw antimony so this is what I buy this and saw off 2 inch chunks and mix it and cast a couple of bullets and test the hardness.If too hard you just add more pure lead,not antimony mixed lead.

I test hardness and then again after 5 days.As it cures it hardens a bit. [/QUOTE]
