I started buying lead from my local recycling place at $0.85 /lb. Price wasnt all that exciting to me until I actually went few times and realized that Its totally worth it for me. I dont know if I'm just getting lucky but last few times I was able to pull bunch of various tin 50/50 bars, solder wire, 2 lino pigs plus very clean soft bricks as well to mix it all with. Its a one stop shop for me and I think I'm getting a deal for $0.85 /lb. From what I'm seeing 50/50 bars are going for around $10/lb, solder wire even more, lino pigs for $2/lb. So today weather was great and I wanted to add more ingots for this winters casting season. I already had some range scrap and some soft lead so here is what I picked up. 7lbs of solder wire (that big ball) , 4lbs of 50/50bars, 7lbs of saeco ingots which appears to be lino. 7lbs of WW ingots and some random clean pipe, sheet etc pieces. It was 30lbs total for $28 out the door. Thats a pretty good deal right?
