See the link posted earlier for LASC. It has information about basic formulas for WW, Linotype etc. Little bit of calculation will tell you what ratios of what will get you where. The alloy used in the OP was what I call 1.5, or a reasonable wag at hardness that splits the difference between 30:1 and Lyman #2. This illustrates one of the minor differences I have with some of their info. Using a hardness tester I find 30:1 is consistently BHN6, therefore my 1.5 alloy runs in the range of 10.5 - 11 range. This can be achieved with different alloy mixes.
