    Told ya it was expensive, the only other way I know of is to try and get lead pipe from scrap metal or demo merchants, the joints on that were soldered with 50/50.
    The alternative is to set your velocity sights lower and use pure lead. It's fine for target shooting, and on game animals a bullet with a nice large meplat gives pretty impressive results. You just have to be more accurate in measuring range.
    I just use wheel weights straight for hard bullets and pure lead for my 58s both mine and round ball. The 4570 velocity should be fine for pure lead also
