If you are shooting round ball, any additives will cause problems, pure lead is the way to go.

The only real problem I had when shooting lead slugs and balls was when I inadvertently mixed some hard lead into a large batch of projectiles. Took some finding why I suddenly had problems after successfully shooting slugs out to 500m and balls out to 200m
