Bar solder

I have 13 lbs of bar solder marked 5/95. According to Google, that is 5% tin 95% lead, that works out to a 19 to 1 alloy. I shoot 20 to 1, close enough for me. I also have several bars of SN1F marked solder. Google says that is 99% tin. Any thoughts or comments?

When I mix my 20-1 I cast bullets from my go to mould that should weigh around 208.8 to 209.2.  If they are out of that range I add tin or lead to get them there.   Cast some of the 19-1 and see what they weigh.  Who knows they may shoot bette than your 20-1

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
