Lead alloys

The bad thing about wheel weights is that anymore you never know what yo are really getting. Some are an alloy of zinc. If ya get zinc mixed in a lead mix..stick a fork in it. Although harder to do I prefer to mix mine from scratch.... Tin is a bit hard to get now. Ya know I bought a Ruger 22 Colorado centennial not long ago and I got a couple boxes of ammo. The box of 22 LRs had bullets made of ...tin. Wow. Spensive bullets the box of mags was just normal stuff.
