I'm getting ready for my stand at the Imperial. I have just smelted 100kgs of lead and the sweat is pouring down my face.
Cup of tea time.
2/3 pure lead and 1/3 Linotype - it rings nicely when struck. Just the right hardness.
Now to get on with the boolit casting.

At age 63 it's not a likely issue. (Think about it!).
No lead mine, just a friendly scrappy. Still expensive stuff though.

Got to say, when we met, I wouldn't have put you at 63! Surely, still "plenty lead in the pencil"!!!! LOL!
