Last couple of days I managed to get some casting done,

so have some more bullets for the .45-70 and another.  Now I need some time and suitable weather to alloy more lead to 20-1.  Which may take a while.

Alloy of lead with ???? Antimony? Gold?

For the big stuff I've been using 20-1 lead/tin

Where are you getting your tin

Mostly pewter, stuff I find at thrift stores.

There are also a couple of places you can buy pure, one is on Fecesbook, search 'Walters Wads'. He also sells vegetable fiber wads of just about any caliber and thickness you may want.

Another place is online, Roto Metals.
