What effect would a few zinc wheel weights have on an amateur (WW)
lead caster?

Lead is insoluble in zinc, however 1.8at% (gah, I hate phase diagrams not in
weight percent) zinc forms an eutectic in lead at 590K = 602°F. Above
zinc's melting point, there's about 5at% solubility. Lemme see if I can
convert that... about 1.7% max, by weight?
