It depends on what is shot there. I find mostly lead from .22 rimfire at my range. It's softer than most casting alloys, being closer to pure. That means it will melt hotter, cast larger in diameter, and won't fill mold details out as well. But you can add tin to bring it to a perfectly usable alloy. Adding about eight ounces of 50:50 solder per 92 ounce of soft lead will do it.
