What is the proportions in a hard cast bullet, and how do I make them? Can I melt tin and antimony in a regular lead melter?

You can get harder (and cheaper), bullets by heat-treating than you can by alloying. You will need lead, tin, antimony, and arsenic. All are available in standard, lead-based Wheel Weights.What is the proportions in a hard cast bullet, and how do I make them?
If you mean, "pure Tin", and "pure antimony, "Prue" antimony would require too high of a temperature. There are antimony alloy metal dealers that can provide antimony in a pre-alloyed state, so that it can be melted in common bullet making pots. Tin, on the other hand, if you are lucky enough to have it, will very easily melt in a bullet pot, inasmuch as Tin has a lower melting temperature than the other metals.Can I melt tin and antimony in a regular lead melter?
