    Lead for zinc

    I would like to trade some lead ingots for some zinc ingots. I'm looking to try to get some high percentage zinc to melt down for a project.

    I would trade a 25 pound small flat rate box of my 95% lead 5% antimony alloy for zinc ingots. Let me know what you got.

    What ever I can get for what I'm offering. This may get my thread deleted but I want to cast fishing lures that will be lighter for size. I have never tried to figure out the zinc wheel weights myself. I have seen some post where people are doing this with bullet molds.

    ahh ok. well to give you frame of reference. where I am located zinc that I have melted down is selling for around $2 per.pound and as you know lead is about $1 give or take. I have zinc, but I would have to repeat it down into ingots. what u have was poured into cast frying pans so they are about 8 inches in circumference and about an inch thick.

    I have about 30 lbs of zinc wheel weights I could swap, they would have to be shipped in a MFRB.

    I have a buch of zinc wheelweights that i have not melted into ingots yet. I know that you have several offers. If you need more I can send you zinc in wheelweight form or given time, reduce them into RCBS or Lyman ingots.

    I also have probably 30 lbs of zinc WWs that I’m getting ready to take to the scrap yard.

    Have you got enough yet? If not I have a 60 lb block with 2 holes in it that should be bolted to a power line .
