Coated you could probably get away with straight soft lead. I have been running wheel weights for so long I just run it. So far no leading in anything. I only recently started trying to duplicate a Lyman #2 alloy and basically only did so because of the alloys I had on hand. And it just happened to add up close to lyman #2 so I smelted it all down into one batch. When I want pretty bullets I will add 2% tin to my wheel weight alloy- which unless tou get it tested can be anything. I run the “art pencil” hardness test on a few bullets if I need harder I will water drop. I made a batch of oven treated wheel weights and they came out nice and hard. Did it help anything, no idea
