The melt from those big boys should run at 12 BHN and is plenty good for up to most magnum pistol casts ( most ) and if you need to you can add some lino type and tin to it to create a Lyman #2 alloy clone for monster mag pistol and again ( most ) rifle casts not traveling much over 1800 fps. As with all casts there are exceptions to the rule for bigger, faster, harder and so on that will need harder alloys, gas checks, maybe water quenching etc. but good clip on wheel weights are a staple in my shop for sure.
