    50/50 solder and lead

    Hi all. I've been having trouble with fill-out in my molds, rounded edges and undersized bullets. I've put it down the pure lead I'm using. I have to turn the temp on my lead melter to max to where the lead is glowing to get any semi decent fill-out and from my research its apparent a lack of tin that's the main cause. Apparently mixing 50/50 solder in the lead can help? Anyone here do this? Does it help? How much solder should be used? Thanks
