Ditto. I've had good experiences quenching .45 slugs from the mold and using wheelweight metal. Sometimes I add a little linotype to boost the tin and antimony content. Wheelweights probably have a little arsenic in them which will enhance hardness. Tin does not harden lead significantly but improves castability. Antimony does harden lead appreciably. Arsenic helps also.
