    I'd offer at most $34.50 delivered or walk away! It is just Soft Lead. You'll need to ad both Tin and Antimony to use it for bullet casting, and that will cost you more, unless you need Pure Lead for muzzloaders you can probably do better by buying Lead from someone on this site.

    Not all shotgun slugs are pure. The S&B and a couple others are HARD.

    Yeah, I said "Soft", not "Pure". And my bet is they're mostly standard soft slugs (ie. Swaged!). Either way, my price recommendation is still only $1.00 per pound maximum!

    Seems high but lead price & availability are location driven.

    Well, since the original poster hasn't responded, who cares what he pays?
