    New to forum and casting first ww purchase

    Hi everyone, great site here! I am just begining this whole casting thing and read tons and found this site very useful. I started my journey looking for ww a few weeks ago and haven't had any luck just yet but will keep at it. I happen to be on vacation in the Phoenix area and went shooting with my cousin and he pointed out an ad posted at the range for ww ingots so I called the guy and ended up getting 100 lbs of nice ingots for .75 cents a pound. I was pretty happy about that. It will get me up and running and allow me to shoot the 45 more lol. I am sure I will be back to the forum many times with questions!

    Any time you can get lead locally less than $1 / lb, get it.
    You can always buy lead in the vendor sales or swappin & sellin section here for $1/lb if you need more later.

    It is good to keep the burden off the USPS as much as possible so they don't change the rules and lower the weight limit in their flat rate boxes.
    Ronald Reagan once said that the most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".

    Thanks for the welcomes.
    I got a new Dan Wesson CCO I need to feed lots of lead through. I will keep reading. Made a trip to the .99 cent store tonight and stocked up on stainless spoons and a ladle.
