Have a friend that has a few hundred pounds of soft lead from a medical facility. I've never used soft lead for anything as I've always been able to find enough wheel weights to do what I needed (wheel weight lead running low). I have close to 100lbs of linotype and a some straight tin I could mix (stuff I've accumulated but never used). I'm just not sure if it's worth the effort to mix up an alloy from pure lead or just look for some more wheel weights. Also have a hundred pounds or so of hard #9 bird shot I could use in an alloy.
How much is raw lead scrap wort these days?
How much linotype would I need to mix with the pure lead to make a useable alloy of light pistol and rifle bullets? I don't push anything..
Could the lead be used straight up for light .38 wadcutter loads?
Need to make a decision what to offer (if it's worth getting), friend so I'd like to offer what he might get at a recycle facility.
