There definitely is the likelihood that alloys are being used...

The ol Microsoft method: "this has been working fine for decades, lets completely change it and make it worse"

That is fair, was just a theory of mine... not sure if I'm the only one... I do imagine with the price of lead increasing they have likely changed the alloy to something less desirable but cheaper... battery posts aren't as soft as they used to be so whatever does that...

I suspect it’s a lot of 3rd world hack processing. Zero quality control, zero care. Look at all the crap quality recycled stuff we get these days.

Wheel weights are not pure lead, they are an alloy and harder than pure lead. Common thing for casting bullets and fishing weights is to mix pure lead and wheel weights when you want harder lead.
