Guys I ended up with about 230 pounds for $200 cash as I live in California.
A 3 pound salmon weight at sportsmans warehouse out here runs $15 so even if it doesn't work for bullets I am still okay...

I bought a couple hundred pounds to give it a try. If it doesn't work I can always turn it into fishing weights

I have absolutely no idea on the hardness.
It is a range I frequent and the owners son has made it into ingots.

Locally the scrap yards have vastly different pricing based on the type of lead you want.
I am a complete newbie to lead bullets so I figured range lead would simplify my learning curve?

Yes it is all in ingots weighing about 4 pounds each.
Thanks for all the responses

My first post so if it's in the wrong forum just let me know.
How much should I be paying for range lead ingots ?
I have a source with around 6000 pounds but don't want to overpay.
