I pulled the trigger on some Ebay soft lead. Seller says it's from pipe and roof flashing, cleaned and fluxed. 50 lbs for a few pennies over $2 a pound shipped. Best price online I've been able to dig up so far. I'll get that in and see how good it is and if it's truly dead soft before I order any more from him.

Still be looking locally though.

Figure I'll have a bullet trap on my 50 yard backyard range to reclaim my lead from now on. Not a fan of this new normal we got now.
