    $100 for 100lbs of "lead" What Did I Get?

    Ran across a deal on cast ingots the other day. Mystery lead in ingots so someone took the time to do it but what did they do? Took the plunge and brought it home then got out the Lee tester.

    Looks like I paid $100 for 100lbs of Lyman #2.

    Very good.

    As we all know---- Americans love a bargain.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    That's a terrible result, you should wrap it all up and send it to me!

    Nope. Wife and I were on a little road trip and stopped by a few flea markets and there they was.
