[seabass416]

Who has a good recipe for casting with wheel weights ?

Need something specific to try --I have tried all kinds of concoctions just
looking for something new.

ie ; -- pounds of wheel weights to ounces of linotype.
ie; -- soft lead to linotype ration

We really need to know what the application is to be able to help you. Are you plinking, shooting competition, hunting, rifle or handgun and what caliber etc?

Most of my casting is with straight wheel weights. They shoot good and perform well on deer.

Are you having any particular problems, or just want to experiment?

I use 2 ingots of range lead to 1 ingot of wheel weights. Have done this for 1/2 a century.

Me, for the last 5 years straight wheel weights
My Cousin and Uncle have been using straight WW for probably 30 yrs. No problems for any of us.

3 pounds wheel weights to 1 pound soft lead. Works great!
