That ship sailed three years ago in my area. I was walking through Lowe's one day and spotted a bunch of boxes on the clearance rack marked "Caution: Lead". It was vent pipe boots. I found a manager and made her an offer on the whole lot. I bought a shopping cart full for about 17 cents per pound. That was the end of lead boots and flashing at Lowe's here. By the way, that 3" boot in the picture was marked $25 so that would not be a cheap way to buy lead. Not sure what the flashing price had been.

Guys around here bitch at a dollar a pound.
Not kidding
I proly have 300 lbs or so left, already alloyed in the 1lb Lyman ingots.

Dont have hardness tester. Pops did, and made pistol bullets of very good quality ( guys always wanting them ).

Dunno where the hardness tester is LOL.....and aint digging
Also not selling for a buck a lb anymore.

Local scrap metal dealer buys lead, and resells. Dunno what the going rates are. Maybe decent enough to check your local scrap place.

Looks like special order now. It can be shipped to my local Lowe's to pick up next week. Apparently they just don't stock it any more. With the price increase that 3" boot is more than $10 per pound. That is some expensive bullets.

Crazy to pay that much for lead. Lead spot prices are what? 90 cents to $1 per pound currently. Paying $2 or more per pound is insane for something that isn't a lead manufactured product.

Where are you located?
How far do you wish to travel?
I have pure lead, 20-1 alloy and a 5 gallon bucket of linotype.
