Ask around locally you will find others willing to trade.
Over the years I have found many "traders"
I trade my zinc to a guy for his lead.
I trade soft lead to the black powder guys for exchange of XYZ.
I ask many people for lead.
Roofer,plumbers,electricians.
My best score was a old time plumber. He had those big soldering lead ignots. Good score. Got them for free as he needed them gone to sell his house.
I also scored some lead/tin solder from abandoned building that did electronic work.
