Vance, can't thank you enough! The "book" that is linked to the thread you linked to is awesome! Only read four chapters so far and have been very impressed. Fryxell and Applegate not only know their stuff but can and do write coherently about it. I've only been casting a couple of years and have spent many hours reading on the subject here and elsewhere, the only book that comes close so far is Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbook. Not only do they explain all the chemistry/metallurgy involved but they explain why wheelweights work so well and how to make a better alloy from them. Taffin's foreward had me hooked, it's gonna be a great read.
Thanks again.

My favorite recipes start out with a handful of used wheelweights.
