Pewter and lead slug mix

Hi
I'm quite new to slug swageing and casting.
And I have a mp molds 35g slug mold similar to the altros 3 band slugs.
Is it possible to mix pewter with pure lead to reduce the weight of the slug.
And how much would it alter the bhn say in a 60/40 mix.
I'm curious to know if it can work as 35g is abit on the heavy side for me but I like the slug shape just not the weight.
Any help is greatly appreciated

In my opinion, the added tin would make it too hard.
