I have an Accurate Vetterli mould and I was wondering what kind of lead to tin % I should be using or whatever suggestion you might have. And, where to buy. I am very new to casting. Also, I have a Lyman Mag 25 and I have been fluxing it with Gulf paraffin but it still leaks. Thank you for any information you might provide.

If shooting black powder a 1:40 tin-lead alloy is fairly standard. With smokeless most people use a harder alloy, although at blackpowder velocities, it isn't really necessary.
