50/50 is as far as go for smaller stuff like1/32 if smaller then that pure only
Depends on the molds, I've got some 1/16th molds that will pour with tire weight and others like the pony's that I pour 2-1 pure to hard adn it pours fine.
Once you find what works with your molds write it down in a notebook so you'll have it. Now if all you buy/obtain free is pure lead don't worry about it as pure always pours great.
If you run into any problems post it here and we'll try and help you out.

80% l 20% t works fine!
may want to add a lil bees wax depending on mix too
I have bars that are made with just wheel wieghts and I can pour my 1/100 and 1/80 mold I got from crazy angler tackle(Flatfish) just fine they look great. so I guess if you flux it good enough it should work. I used bees wax
