I might have scored today. went to a "Junk" yard and found a drum of new lead sheeting, it's about 1/16 inch. I asked for a price. It came to .75 cents a lb. as that was being weighted out, I asked about any wheel weights. yes, that had a few. Actuall they didn't have enough to sell. but they had three one lb. bars of solder. I asked them to put those with the lead sheeting. they did( at .75 cents a Lb.) the whole thing came to 115 lb.s for under $85.00(At the last gun show(pasadena Tx.) I paid 75.00 for 60 lb.s of Range lead in lyman bars. NOw about all I need are a few more bars of 60-40 or 50-50 solder and I'm good for a bit.
I read a lot of peoples notes on this forum this morning and I learned a lot. So far I'm pouring 230gr. .45's, 200SWC. in .45,a 300 gr's .45 with GC. 9mm and .40 cal. All with 6 hole molds. (ok, I've got .44,.41, 160 SWC .38 and 148 gr. WC. in two holers.
I wish they were all 6 holers.
ANy of you lead heads around the Houston area??
