What would be a good formula to create an alloy utilizing lead shot for the production of pistol bullets to be used in moderate velocity loads?
Thanks...

you dont needto alloy for moderate just cast ww , too hard can be a bad thing.
i wasted unknown amounts of alloys plinking& wondering why my brrl was leading
when an old caster told me to speed up the boolit , i said huh??? you got to have enuff pressure to seal the barrel, my leading went away, so for milder loads i use softer boolits & save my alloys for the fast stuff.
fast stuff usually gets 8oz. of mag shot for antimony to 10 # pot.
hope this helps.
