I’m located in Memphis guys,,,, anyone local have some lead they’d sell?
An indoor gun range is a good place toget some. Most of them want it gone. I have also gotten it from the burm on an outdoor range
Our indoor ranges shoot into rubber backing, they won’t be changing tha5 for awhile,,,I’ll check with outdoor range hopefully this week
I used a small hardware cloth box to shake the dirt through at the bottom of the burm. Last indoor range I shot at had a metal bullet trap the had to be cleaned out every so often
Hummmm,,sounds they just didn’t care to check for me,,,thanks for the heads up jack,,,
Show them a $20 bill and all kinds of lead sweepings will appear.

I have seen the new rubber backstops. I know nothing about them. Find a range that shoots steel plate matches and there will be plenty of floor sweepings.Quote:

I get some lead from a local roofer that does hot tar roofs.
check with plumbers in your area - Short of that I'd get it from Roto Metals it's a little high but it's good stuff.
I like roto metals also. You have so many choices to choose from.
If it's anything like other plaaces I've lived, there are outdoor area's with good back stops somewhere around you. I used to take a bucket and sitfing screen to recover my bullet's at these ranges. If the back stop is gravel I don't much waste my time. used to shoot a lot of lead cast bullet's and have never paid for lead. Used wheel weights back then but lead wheel weights are now illegal in Oregon. Fortunately I have maybe 1000# in inget's saved up. Place you might find the is the junk yards on farm's!Quote:

The last time I ordered from ROTO I got 800 pounds and my pallet was not damaged to the point of lost materials but the roll of sheet lead lead was flattened some from banding. Lead pot don't care. Now a roofer might. LOL
Grumpy,,I’m hanging over you house,,,800 lbs be worth sweeping floors for,,,lol
Guys I have some soft lead I may be selling (around 75 to 100 pounds ). It's new lead so pouring the bigger heads you will want to cut it with tin just to make the heads harder or use it uncut. I'm not tying much anymore and have a lot of tying material I may be listing as well. Watch in the classifieds next week, going to think about it over the weekend. Just a heads up.
Definately keep us posted,,,I’d be 8nterested
Guys I just listed 4 boxes of lead in the classifieds. I may be able to get more of this lead if interested.
