Can you explain what we are looking at
Which sample do you want to modify?
What type of bullets are you casting?
The first alloy ( left image) looks alot like Lino type which is very hard 20 bhn ?
Secound alloy is not pure either and is pretty hard as it sits at around 10-13bhn and looks like chilled shot alloy ? pure lead will come in around 8bhn
Chilled shot alloy will cast nice bullets for almost any non magnum loads. Depending on your load pressure it might be on the hard side.
How much do you have of each alloy? What hardness are you looking for?
You might be better off selling some of that lino type and buy some tin to blend with the Chilled shot alloy?
I have been making a FAUX #2 alloy with wheel weights and pewter I know its not perfect but would love to get it shot with the Xray gun to see.
My alloy is close to 5% Tin 3% Antimony 92% lead Real Lyman #2 is 5%, 5%, 90%
you can add 3lbs of your Hard alloy (lino type) to 10lbs of pure to get it up to about 12bhn ? water quench for harder ?
to get close to lyman number 2 you still need tin ?
this blend will make up 10 lbs of close to #2
