    Lead.. anyone got a good source.

    My supply is now dangerously low at less than 10# remaining after a furious casting session today.


    Prices seem higher than I recall at all the commercial sellers.... Damn California.

    I mean Rotometals is almost 6 cents a bullet. Way to damn much. 3 cents would be more like it.

    ...but their exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

      It all started because I missed out on the chance to get a 600# keelweight.. since then my strategic reserve has been depleting.

          Try posting "Free lead removal service" on craigslist.

          Overemphasize the "Dangerous material" part and make the stuff sound like an evil cousin to radioactive uranium. You'll get a few responses.

              There's usually dudes selling reclaimed lead on the cast boolits forum for around $1/pound, which is a little less than half of rotometals. Quality varies.

                  True that. Gotta be careful of any source.

                  Battery terminals and wheel weights are a favorite of mine when I can find them.

                  A shame they're getting scarce now...

                      Castboolit site is where I recently got 2 flat rate boxes of lead $130 for 130#s. Ready to use ingots of range lead mined from the berm of some range I presume. I got them from this thread.... http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...ngots-for-sale

                        FTW.

                        $75 gets you a flat rate box with about $60 + lbs of lead from one guy, it is reclaimed and melted down range lead...

                        damn. 600# keel.

                        HEY! that is the thing on the bottom of the boat yes?

                        When you hear the expression Keel over, it means like when you cut off a boat's keel it will fall over on its side, thus KEEL over, OR if the Keep is over on the side it means the boat is capsizing... (I think anyways)

                        There are several different types of keels. They all rule if they are full of lead... I want one.
                        7 Billion people on the planet. They aint ALL gonna astronauts. Some will get hit by trains...

                              I saw a #1,000lb keel weight for sale in Craigslist once but. I could not come up with the money fast enough....damn. I'm sitting on roughly 500lb of pure lead and Linotype that I manage to purchase. I was getting free lead WW from tire shops but since our "beloved state" decided to ban lead WW I've been paying since. Craigslist and Castboolits are decent sources.
