Need to find the best price on lead

I have looked around locally for the free stuff (weights, scrap, etc.) but there is none to be found.

Can anyone tell me an online source for cheap(er) lead?

Don't know if it's the best or not but, it ain't that bad...

http://www.keadbullets.com/

It's not bulk lead for casting but, to be honest, I'd rather not cast for what they can be bought for If you buy on ebay, you can't buy the lead for much less, if any for what these bullets cost.... already sized and lubed.

If you can't find scrap lead @ a local wrecking yard or scrap yard for less than 50c/# then you have to go mail order pure lead, quite pricey @ over $1/# + shipping. Other places to look are stain glass shops or classes & your local plumber. If I have to pay $1/#, I am just buying the bullets already cast & lubed. Try twoalpha for inexpensive cast bullets.

Did you try craigslist?

Does this help?Lead sheets
Lead & Steel Shot - New unused bags - used in Paper Weights <-Richardson/Plano, TX
Bullet Casting Lead <- San Antonio, $1/lb 400lbs available.

I'd consider posting a WTB ad on Craigslist. WTB: Wheel Weights and scrap lead
