1's, 2s and 4's should all work in that mold. For hooks I'd go to Capt Hooks and buy in bulk. Make a sheet and check all places and then go the cheapest.

You can get Mustads, Eagle Claws, VMC's or Matzuo's sickles. Why everyone bash's the Mustads and Eagle Claws I don't know been using them for 30+ years and haven't had a problem.

The only problem I've had with the Matzou's is sometimes the length of the wire (from the eye to the L bend of the shank) is a bit too long. I just set those ones aside and mail them back and ask for different ones.

Lead - go to a salvage yard and see what they have. I've got molds that I can pour down to 1/32 oz with tire weight lead and others only pure. If you can get pure lead cheap get it, old lead water pipe, roof sheathing etc. If you have a muzzle loader group in your area ask around where they buy lead at.

If you need any more info let us know and we'll help you out.
