Will my sons be able to source lead when they're my age? How about their sons and daughters? What about the great grandchildren and their children and grandchildren and so on?
My goal is to set no limit; to never say, "OK, that's it, I'm finished."

11 milk crates, mostly full, and at 72, I'm still looking. At my passing somebody will get the giggles and a sore back.

My goal is to have one rifle and one pistol and about 40 lbs of 94-3-3 alloy left when I die. That should fit in the coffin with me

I've got about 700 lbs of lino, 600 of pure, and 5- 5gal buckets of ww. My son built me a bullet catcher, and I've got another one I'm working on. But I can't quit looking For lead were ever I go it's just a addiction.

I'm 57 and have enough on the shelf to shoot 5,000 two hundred grain boolits a year for the next 25 years. Since the vast majority of my casts are lighter than that, I'm no longer actively looking for lead. Of course if I stumble across some, there's no sense in letting it lay...

More than anyone else. He who has the most lead, wins.
After reading some of the replies, I'm a ways behind in this race.
I only have 200 lbs so far but I'm new to all this. equal amounts of coww, lead pipe and range lead. still looking though.
I mostly look for tin based lead alloy and hardening alloy. I'm doing ok with 50/50 solder, but would like a lot more. 100 kilo would be nice.
I find lino very elusive and have only a Kilogram or so. I recently missed a healthy supply but was a month late to the scrapyard.
WW's and to a lesser degree sheet lead I'm ok for, but if it's free or cheap enough I will get more. It's money in the bank and can be traded or sold if need be.
