A friend GAVE ME 400lbs of lino and I bought a full bucket from another buddy for $50.00. Too good to pass up.Over the years I've bought most of mine from scrap yards. It was soft lead that you can alloy with harder stuff like lino purchased online. Lino isn't cheap but you don't need a lot of it to harden up lead, particularly if you drop bullets in cold water. Anything being driven hard gets a gas check.
Put it in the classifieds.I have 50+ pounds laying around I would trade. Old water pipe
Please wear a good respirator.I made a deal with my local indoor range.
They have an ongoing, periodic issue with lead building up at the mouth of their traps, causing back splatter.
I get called in to clear the obstruction, and I get to keep what I clean out.
I don't cast myself, but have friends that do.
I give them bullet quality lead, and they give me back bullets.
Works well for all involved.
I wasn't born yesterday.Please wear a good respirator.

Someone closer to you than me will jump on it.
Do you have to add anything to the wheel weights or are they the right consistency for molding projectiles? I wonder if you can just buy the right ones (presorted) at the scrap yard?
For normal cast bullets Wheel Weights work fine if you add 2% tin for good fill out. I've never bought any that were Pre-Sorted.Do you have to add anything to the wheel weights or are they the right consistency for molding projectiles?

Most scrap yards anymore won't sell to individuals/ general public.Do you have to add anything to the wheel weights or are they the right consistency for molding projectiles? I wonder if you can just buy the right ones (presorted) at the scrap yard?
Thats a waste of tin my friend, wheel weights have plenty of tin already. In most cases one can add soft lead to wheel weights.For normal cast bullets Wheel Weights work fine if you add 2% tin for good fill out. I've never bought any that were Pre-Sorted.
Ive always traded with scrap yards, I bring in aluminum copper steel and swap for sheet copper or lead. Its easier if they know you.Most scrap yards anymore won't sell to individuals/ general public.
Not the ones in my area anyway.
