I use WW alloy. Water drop them for rifle loads. Air cool them for everything else. Simple.
Clip-on wheel weights are pretty much impossible to get around here. If I'm lucky, I can find about 3-4 lbs a year.
And, stick-ons cost more than I pay for pure lead at a plumbing supply company.

So, I have to mix my own WW alloy.
Antimony and Tin are easy to get. It's the Arsenic, for heat-treating, that's a pain. (Though, the Copper in 96/4 Tin/Copper plumber's solder helps make up for being a little short on As.)
