Curious what you guys do after, adding tin, adding it to wheel weights or using as is?

Yes put down a tarp! You will not loose that much with recipro saw, but you do not want it going into the ground anyway!
Only common sense.

I use a band saw. It's very fast and cuts very thin making not a lot of saw dust.
I use a propane torch.
It's slower, but that way I can justify staying outside in the shop longer, and not have to actually work on something.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

I just realized that nobody has mentioned a pipe cutter.
Slow vs an axe, but easy work and no mess.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I prefer one of these ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But most do not have them and are definitely not willing to pay $60.00 for a tool to cut lead (and just about ANYTHING ELSE). Once you have one of these you will wonder how you ever got along without it!!!!!!!!!
That might work on the little stuff, it would definitely help your hand shake grip and be slow. Might be a good idea if you had just a few feet to cut up. I wouldn't consider a saw for 3 feet or 300 feet of lead pipe...I have cut more than my share of lead pipe/sheathing.
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
I wonder how one of those pocket cable saws would do. They make short work of branches and even small metal objects but I’m not sure if the lead would build up on it. They are handy little guys.
Have set of cable cutters that look like 36”bolt cutters but have curved shears blades
hydraulic wood splitter (if you got one)
I cut them to length, then slice them lengthwise to open them up.

I use a band saw with a wood cutting blade It makes quick work of lead pipe without much waste.

Depending on thickness I cut roof flashings with my roofing hook blade at work all the time works quick and efficient couple passes with a straight blade will work to
32 ounce Estwing and a 2" chisel cuz they're on the truck all the time. I lay them open like JonB in G because of water trapped in the line sometimes. I know, but once is too many times and my xray vision don't work on lead.
Used both axe and sawzall. Depends on size but with the sawzall I do it over a piece of cardboard or tarp to catch the pieces and shavings. I don't use the corse blade, I use the finer blade.
Framing hammer and a wide chisel like a masons block chisel works well
