And one more........

It actually looks like lead has come down about .30 cents/lbs. in the last few weeks.

you guys can use these for "guides" , but these prices are typically for soft pure lead in truckload quanities.........
prices can change a bunch when one is talking a couple hundred pounds.

Having been a plumbing contractor in a family Bus. since the mid 60's I have seen lead prices go up and down before along with panic buying I still feel the price will go down not back to
.10 a pound but in the .65 range

It's good to know where it's going. I get scap lead and lino from a recycler and it's good to talk like I know where the price is going.

I know I will pay at least what he is getting from the yards but to know the trend is good. At least I won't have to pay more than the yards. I occasionally have scap metal on my jobsites I give to him so he's pretty fair anyways.

I'd just like to find a place to buy alloyed ingots.
For the market price.

There is a fellow in the Los Angeles area who has been selling lead and lead alloys for more than 50 years. He will mix the alloy to your specifications and mold it into several different size bars for you. You can pick it up or have it shipped. Actually, he is amazing. He is in his 80s and all the work is done by him and his OLDER brother. I think the address and phone number I have below is correct; if not look for his small ad in American Rifleman, it's been there for a gazillion years.
