Nope, not true.
For muzzleloader projectiles, you want the softest lead you can get. Pure lead is ideal.
I suspect what you have is lead used for cable sheathing, which I believe is pure lead or very close to it.
The reason you need soft lead for muzzleloader projectiles?
Remember, when you are loading your conical, you have to push it down the barrel. Often, the projectile is engraved by the rifling to some degree while it's being loaded, using only your muscle power as you push in down the barrel with your ramrod.
