Lead prices going up.

[BigBronco]

Got an email from a wholesale supplier today. Lead shot will be going up $4 To $5 per bag of 25#. I would not be surprised if bullets follow this increase.

Time to stock up.

Maybe from commiefornia, but my guy back east seems cool where he is at...

But this news could explain why lead is about $2.50+/lb at IMS...

All of those damn EPA restrictions. We need to kill them off along with the Delta Smelt...

Any idea what scrap yards are selling for? Last time I paid $1 per #. I just swap my aluminum cans for lead. But it has been a while since I have.

I pay 0.69 a pound through my source, and thats for pure flashing.

When I get a lane that's getting a little deep at the back stop.
And there's time, I'll pick a bag of range scrap.

It may be a little more work to clean but I haven't had to buy for a while now.
I'll just leave it at that.

Just scored 250# of roof flashings for plumbing. For free.

My range has it posted not to mine the berms. I don't think it is so much that they care, I think they don't want greenie weenies taking soil samples back to the lab.

I have had visions of a trommel of sorts for taking to public areas, but nah, I have more ideas than time.

thats still only $.20 a pound.. that is seems REALLY cheap to me?? Is this reclaimed shot with other materials mixed in with it?

[Fordtrucks]

He is saying it's going up AN EXTRA 4$ to 5$ a pound from the current prices.
