Default Lead Shot needed

Glenn says:

I would still go for at least 50% wheel weights.

50% wheel weight lead mixed with miscellaneous
scrap will insure you get 1.5 to 2% antimony and harden it up enough to
prevent that.

good foundry will tell you the same, as will any builder or designer. You do
NOT want your keel falling off....
