I ask everyone "have you got lead?" It shows up in unlikely places. Recently, a fellow that I had just met at work answered "Yes, an elderly friend had been saving a chunk of lead that he found many years ago, and passed it on to me -- you can have it." It turned out to be 50 lbs of pure.

I got a bit more tonight. I had asked my next door neighbor "the question". He has an exotic fish business. Tonight he came over with 15 lbs of lead strips that were used to keep aquatic plants submerged. Who'da thunk of that one... :-)

Every bit helps.

Great going on your acquisitions of lead. It won't take very long to use it up though. Lead turns out to be my number 1 problem. Not enough of it. BC

I wish I had a place that I could use a boolit trap. Then my range scrap would already be my favorite alloy.
