I think Land Owner explained it perfectly. Time is money.
I wouldn’t cast if I could trade 1.25-1.5 lbs of lead for 1 lb of cast bullets. That’s an insane deal for the guy regardless of the Magma...

I wish I had mine all neatly stacked. I have over 6,000 pounds of lead wheel weights in a pile of 50 pound bags covering an 8’x10’ of shop floor space. Melted down into ingots 1-2,000 pounds stacked...

Reading this thread makes me feel fortunate. My lead guy calls me once or twice a year. He sorts the weights for me and sells them to me for 35 cents a pound. He is a hell of a guy even bags them up...

Dang you have quite the setup there. That melting pot and stack ingot molds would make short work or my 5,000 lbs of wheel weights I have been avoiding.

Nice find. I have a guy that sells me sorted clip on wheel weights for 35 cents a pound. In a 50 lb bucket he might miss sort 2 individual weights. Needless to say when he calls I show up with cash.

4,879 lbs of wheel weight lead and counting. Hard to say what a lifetime supply is. Some years we get out more to shoot then others.
