[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 101591, member: 704"] The 45 ACP is the Lyman Devastator. With Lyman #2 Alloy it comes in at an advertised 185 gr, but I don't load it hot and keep it around 900 fps. At that speed I get by with wheel weight and 1% added tin. Darn tin was $4 a pound years ago. Now you can't buy it in one pound bars at the local plumber you have to buy lead free solder at $30 a pound. I add 2% tin and another 2% linotype to my mix for the 45/70. If memory serves me wheel weight is already 5% antimony. In the past it was also 2% tin, but you can't find those old wheel weights anymore. [/QUOTE]
