I own some Mihec HP molds and want to cast them to expand well. The media I'll use will probably be newspaper or jugs of water. I also don't want to buy tin to make it a 2% alloy unless it's necessary.
I have a small quantity of mostly .22lr lead and another bag of Air Rifle (pellet) lead. I've been told online that the .22lr lead is most likely 2-3% antinomy. I assume the bhn will be lower (softer lead alloy) than range scrap. Plus, I am assuming the alloy will be more consistent. Does anyone of a general idea of what the pellet lead will be? I plan to melt these down into separate batches later, cast them, and test but thought I'd ask out of curiosity.
