Has anyone used tungsten powder?
If so, what type of mixture do you use? A 50/50 blend 25/75 and so on? Do you use an epoxy, or is there something better to us?

Powdered tungsten is marketed as a replacement for lead. When mixed with epoxy, the density is equivalent to lead density. You can increase the density by mixing it with Elmer's glue - but you have to apply it in thin strips, so that you do not die of old age while you are waiting for it to dry. The extra cost is not worth the time & little is gained. Molded lead or just plain tungsten weights seem more favorable. You could use it at PDDR......but not at WIRL (as a powder, that is)

Wutty is great and seems more dense than the lead putty.

Wutty is great. I used to get the lead putty but this, as tungsten, is more dense...sort of like I am.
