Soft Lead

I'm pouring some 1/16 & 1/8 oz. SB's and it seems I have some real soft lead. Is there anything I can put in it to stiffen it so they will not bend @ the hook /wire connection ?

Re: Soft Lead

You can try an add some harder lead to your mixture. Find some wheel weights and melt them in a 50/50 mix with the soft and that should fix it.
