I bought 30 lbs of lead for $15 today from the local scrap yard..... All of it was very small crimp-on fishing weights. At least I wont have to skim any w/w clips off. [smilie=l:

Sounds like a deal, most is still close to $1 a pound shipped . . .

I was able to get three five gallon buckets full of truck wheel weights at no charge from one of my vendors. Big weights make a lot of bullets. That should last me for a while.

Free anything is good. Free lead is even better.........

"...All of it was very small crimp-on fishing weights. " which sounds like split shot, or... :Fire: shot! If you shoot Cowboy, you might try them in your shotgun shells.

They're soft lead which is what I like. I alloy it with either w/w or lino to get the BHN that I use in the 30-30.
Yesterday I was surprised by a gift of lead from a utility repairman. He drove right down my driveway and knocked on the door. Seems that he remembered I asked him about lead when he replaced my gas meter a while back. What he gifted me was a 5 lb bag of lead seals that they take off of gas meters when they are replaced.
So there's another source for us lead scroungers!
