Not quite ready to begin casting, but I'm scrounging for materials. I have secured a decent pile of linotype, but need softer lead for alloying down to #2 or softer.
The local tire shop is getting so desperate, they're not throwing out wheel weights... they're cleaning them up and re-using them! So far, all I've found is a local indoor range owner who will sell me recovered bullets for .50/lb. Is this a decent price?
I'm thinking I may be getting into casting at the worst possible time...
