Adding WW to low pot

[socal_stubborn]

I have learned a ton from all you guys thanks first of all. Newbie question I purchased a couple bars of this from Midway, National Metallic Hardball
Bullet Casting Alloy Ingot (2% Tin, 6% Antimony, 92% Lead). I’m almost out, can I add my WW ignets to this pot or keep them separate.

Thanks

JR

Yes, you can. It will probably give you 4% Sb. reasonable depending on what you are shooting. If you have lots of good COWW, maybe just shoot that till you need the harder stuff. What are you shooting depends on what you need.

Ok thanks I should have specified that. I’m only making pistol rounds, 38 special, 40 cal and 45 ACP.

I'd just cast your pistol bullets with your WW ingots, and save the 2-6-92 alloy in case you order some more, if that alloy was desirable for another application?

if your only talking like 3-4-5 lbs. just throw a little bit of your stuff back in with the ww alloy, 1 to 8-10 or something like that.
you won't notice any difference as you switch all the way over to straight ww alloy.

Personally i'd save it for future use. You may have a batch of wheel weights that just wont cast right, and mixing it in will help an ornery batch of alloy. You can also use an ingot of it as reference for hardness estimation of other unknown alloy. I'd save an ingot of it back just for that purpose.
