Need help with leading in cylinder throats

[Beanhead]

I want to get in the game bad. I have a mold for 44 but dont have a supply of lead yet and im not sure where to get it. I have some lead saved and i have 1000 hard comercial cast bevel based bullets that lead my revolver that I plan to melt down. That is a topic for another day though haha

Tire shops around here no longer use lead wheel weights so Im not sure where to find good lead

Check out the vendor sponsor section here. Good clean ww metal delivered to your door.

I've purchased a lot of Lead from The Captain here. Always good shipping/packing and reasonable prices...

Where can I find the vendor sponsor section?

Go to the forum main page, scroll down and if you reach the bottom, you went too far.
It is in the Commercial Section.

Although they no longer use lead WW, they remove old weights when balancing tire/wheels. Some of these removed WW will be lead.

When everything was lead, they had a market for them & now they'll probably be glad to get rid of them because probably 50% will be Zn or Fe.

I have good luck around dealers that handle truck tires (big COWWs) & the alignment dept. @ heavy truck dealers.

I will have to try tire shops and auto centers again. About two years ago I went to just about all the tire shops in my area and there was already someone that was coming get it. My father in law is the manager of the service and parts department at the local chevy dealer so I thought that would be my ticket to getting some lead. He let me in the shop to sift through what they had. I looked through what must have been about a 55 gallon drum worth of clip on wheel weights and didnt find but about a hand full of lead ones. I think my best bet will be to buy from someone on this forum when I get ready to cast.

I just recently bought a house and got married though so I may be limited on what new hobbies I can get into right now. If I go to the swap and sell section on this forum can I post a wanted add for used bullet molds?

Posting a WTB add on S&S is the best way. Might try the boolit exchange to see if someone on the forum can help you with some 180's to try too. The vendor section also has guys that sell boolits too that you might source.

Missouri bullet works offers bullets 12bhn and are lubed with thompson lube. Would that bullet and lube be soft enough to try? The bullets are bevel base
