Soft lead and powder coating

[Jon]

I have a rather large chunk of lead. It's a sailboat keel. It is supposed to be real close to pure lead. I'm wondering if I can get by without having to add tin to it. I'm going to be water quenching the bullets and then powder coating them. I'll eventually get molds for 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP and won't be pushing them very fast. Just plinking. Will I be able to use this lead as is?

If you are going subsonic, no problem.

Sure you can use it as is or, consider adding a 6 inch length of solder to the pot. That will harden it up a bit.
