I hear a lot of people mentioning wheel weights for casting.
1- Can WWs (once melted down) be ready for casting?
2- WWs are not easy to come by in my area, but what is considered a fair price if I should have to buy them from a local tire shop?
3- Normal reloading is taking up all my budget right now, so I don't have a hardness tester. Realistically, the only lead I'll be using is scrap lead. Could someone tell me what alloy is needed if I just have soft lead? (not sure the hardness). Linotype or Lyman #2? What percentage of either of these would I need to add to 10 lbs of soft lead?
4- I plan on reloading 44 magnum, but with a 44 special load.
I know very little about casting, so I hope I'm giving enough info, thanks.
