Nice boolits!
I use straight CO WW for 95% of my casting.
For hunting boolits I usually use 50/50 WW/lead plust one-two percent tin.
Its not hard at all to get excellent, well filled out boolits with straight WW. I've never understood why most guys insist on adding tin to everything. If you play with the temps a touch, it saves a pile of money in tin.

I made over 1000 9mm boolits last night with straight WW, and only threw about 10 back in the pot that werent perfect. Thats a pretty good percentage.
