So, pulled up to the warehouse with my measly little truck of 44,000lbs of lead and was greeted with this. Football field warehouse full of these stacks. How many boolits in this building? Assay on the paperwork said 99.8% lead from Australia. Only little stuff was Arsenic and something else.

Is that lead coming here from there? Do we buy lead from the Aussies? if so, I like it..

I don't know if, I want to know the location! I might try to get a job there and pull a Johnny Cash. One pound at a time!

did any fall off the truck enroute, with todays highways and potholes it would be plausible. do they sell to the public would be a good question to ask.

All the lead was from here https://www.nyrstar.com/operations/metals-processing/nyrstar-port-pirie

Picked up at Sparrow Point, MD. I remember picking up coils at the old steel mill there.

Looks like strategic stock piling by some company ..or Gov't
