Using pewter in my bullets

Hello all: I have a question or three to ask if y'all don't mind. While the wife was browsing in a GoodWill Store lately. I usually just mope around here and there. This last time our adventure together included my finding a couple picture frames made of pewter. I've been told some time back that pewter can be used in the making of cast bullets. I have soft sheet lead, lino, and coww available for my use.

1. Is pewter worth keeping on hand to add as an alloy to a casting furnace recipe?

2. Just what would be a good pewter recipe to try?

3. How good would those bullets be for 30-30 hunting rifle usage at moderate speeds?

thank you, Gents.
