GOB,

Lead has its uses, but straight lead is too soft for handgun or rifle bullets. It is fine for muzzleloader projectiles, but leads horribly in rifles and handguns. Wheelweights are better because they contain antimony and make harder bullets. Put some tin in the pot with WW and drop the bullets from the mould into a bucket of water for really nice, hard bullets.

My quenched WW bullets have not leaded yet.
