Best place to buy scrap lead

[sw282]

My club cleans out the backstop every six months or so and smelts the lead into 1lb ingots and sells it for $1/lb. It’s a good deal because I hate smelting dirty lead.

CD. How do you dispose of the bullet jackets? Most jkts are at least 80% copper.

Depends on material but could go for brass at the scrap yard. Make sure it’s not mixed with lead/dross.

Buddy used to buy it from a local hospital radiology department, the "Jars" the material comes in are lined with pure lead.

My understanding is that any scraps left after smelting is sold to the scrap yard.

Some places will buy it, others won't. I throw mine out
