What bullet casters never think in a way of a lead source is X-Ray Service Companies. They install and de-install X-ray machines from hospitals and doctors offices. Many of the older machines have almost a ton of lead in the table and wall holder. Not for radiation protection ( there is nothing radioactive in X-Ray machines) but for counter weight.
If you call them you may get the lead which is alloyed close to Lyman#2 for a small fee and if you remove it from the machines
yourself with a socket set,you may get it for free.
I worked as a X-Ray field service engineer and have tons of lead for casting. Tons. After I told my shooting buddies about the lead up for grabs,they all have lead-for-life. You can too.
