I was going to use my program, but it only has about 6 metals in it so went looking. Can you do Excel sheets on you box? Here is an alloy calculator in a zip file from Cast Boolits that might help, depending on what you can find to mix in your alloy. It is a pretty slick program. Just copy and paste it into your address bar then unzip it. On my box it comes up immediately.

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.
