    Lead prices?

    Hey guys i have a solid piece of lead about the size of a brick, it weighs
    24 lbs what is the going rate for lead per lb and rough value.
    its been in my garage for years and i know metal prices are going up.

    Thanks James

    .24 to .40 cents a pound for clean lead. Sad when to buy it, cost about 1.99 a pound.

      Everywhere I've seen, it's about $1/lb delivered.

        About $1 per pound if it's available in Craigslist. If it's bought from a reloading supply outfit, roughly $2+ per pound plus shipping.
