ONE dollar for a thousand pounds? :shock:

Let me know when you find that deal, and I'll buy TWO dollars worth!
Even drive down to get it- no matter where it is. :kidding:

I know, you meant "per pound". :veryconfu :bigsmyl2:

Boys and Girls:

The current price of VIRGIN lead is $1.10 per pound as of today.

Hard Cast alloy is even more expensive......a lot more.

yuthh,

Rotometals currently has a sale on Hardball (92-6-2) alloy made from virgin metals, not scrap. It's sale price is $2.18 per pound but he gives price breaks for 50, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 pounds or more plus FREE shipping. Don't know how much of a price break, you'll need to email or phone them and ask.
