I posted this in the reloading forum awhile back but it didn't get much response. It's got a lot of useful casting information in it and links to even more info. http://www.lasc.us/CastBulletAlloy.htm
Just a friendly correction there HH, have another cup of Coffee.

Pure lead has a BHN of 5. Adhesive weights are 98.5% pure and have a BHN of 6. Clip on weights are 96.5% pure and have a BHN of 10-12.

I use the Adhesive Weights pretty much exclusively since I'm almost out of the Plumbers Lead that I've had for years.
