If you shoot a Postell bullet cast from a Lyman mold, what alloy mixture do you use and what does it weigh?

The alloy that shoots best in my rifle.... And the weight will depend on the mould and how is has been cut. Mine will typically cast at 520grs.

IIRc (it's been a long time since I used it), 20/1 in my Lyman 457132 weighed ~532 gr.
