Maven said:WW's are a trinary alloy: mostly lead, with a bit of tin and antimony added (which makes it harder than pure Pb). I.e., it's a chemical compound, not a physical mixture and it does not separate [by gravity] when melted. Check out Lyman's "Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd. Edition" for metallurgist Dennis Marshall's detailed description of WW's. Btw, he's also written similar articles for E.H. Harrison's "Cast Bullets" (NRA publication), and RCBS' "Cast Bullets, Vol. I.
