I am just wanting to get a feel for what some of you are paying for your lead.
I have looked over everything that Midway has--the different alloys offered by Ney Smelting.
$121 for 30lbs of pure lead
$151 for 30lbs of 20:1 lead/tin alloy
--I am sure there is a hefty shipping cost on each of these too!
Are some of you paying similar prices? What other commercial sources are out there?
For general plinking casts, I bounced around a few tire shops in my area looking for wheel weights. Most recycled but a couple sold to the public. So far the best price was $1 per pound. Is that good? Bad?
I would like to hear from a few of the casters here and see what you are doing to supply yourselves.
