    Yep, make sure you don't go over the 1 or 2% level as tin can make your pills hard (not an issue for plinking but can affect terminal performance for hunting). Also if the sprue plate or mold halves have any sort of gap, excessive tin can make the lead piss right off through the tiniest little non existent gap which is messy and a pain in the arse.
