    What Metals should I be looking for?

    I am a roofer and have been collecting lead flashings plus I have a few hundred pounds of wheel weights. What other types of metal should I be on the look for to cast bullets? Tin? What else? Sometimes we come upon lots of different type alloys and want to make sure I don't throw them out.

    Thanks.
