A buddy gave me a bit over 100# of lead sheet which has been cast into 2# ingots (nothing added).

Has anyone added magnum shot to obtain antimony and arsenic for a harder water cooled boolit (for rifle velocity of 2100-2300fps) ?

Any advice / suggestions are welcomed.

Adding any lead to the magnum shot will just dilute to antimony and arsenic.  Suggest you Google Paco Kelly and research his articles on the 30-30.  Magnum shot WQ’d was his favorite alloy for hunting.  I suggest you add 3% tin to the magnum shot if you have a quantity for an excellent ternary alloy that then can be mixed at 50/50 with lead for an excellent alloy for hunting cast bullets also.
