Wheel weights actually are good for shooters,

They're closer to an "ideal" ball alloy, but most would rather start
with linotype (a very well-known alloy - 12% antimony, 3-4% tin) and
alloy the rest up by mixing it with pure roofing lead. Wheel weights can
have all sorts of crap in them, particularly bismuth and cadmium,

Wheel weights are OK for casting balls, but if you're trying to make
bullets, esp. Minies, then IMHO you're better off doing your own
alloying.
