From what I read yields range from 70-80%.

Depends on if you sort them or not.
A Bucket of "biguns" will yeild more than a bucket o' "littleuns" (clip to alloy ratio).
I sort mine during the de-zincing/pb removal process so I can smelt the biguns first so I have more yeild right away (since I don't have a big stock of ingots built up...)

Out of 150 pounds of wheel weights from one of the fine gents here, I think I got between 130-135 pounds of alloy out of them. There were a large percentage of larger weights and some number of stickons.. I finally stacked em and put them away today.
