Thread: Lead ingots on Craigslist

All of the ingots look to be wheel weights and berm pick up. The round cakes are 5 lb pure lead, $12 each at the plumbing supply house, $11 of you buy at string of 5.
Lead and wheel weights are 0.30 per lb at one scrap dealer and $1.05 to $1.25 per lb at another dealer.

Jimmy figure in the time and fuel to melt. Plus if you can still get wheel weight for that price. Better buy them up and resale them to bullet makers. Last I bought I paid 59 cents per pound and 20% were lead weight.
But I stopped getting wheel lead. Because I have 24 tons of soft lead now.
Buddy I know your cheap and always look for the best deal. But those days on lead is about gone.
