Fellow gunnutterz,
I just finished smelting/refining my lead supply, I now have 270lbs of muffin pan ingots. 140lbs of wheel weights and 130lbs of what was lead bar. If anyone in the GTA is in the need of some lead for casting boolits give me a shout. I have added tin to the mix and have 2 hardness levels of lead ingots. If I were to part with some I am looking at around 1.50 per lb (to cover my costs). I am by Yonge and steeles, I am willing to meet up within my immediate area, if further out I will need to cover my gas to meet up with you or at the least a large regular from timmies.

PS.... I am not looking to make money from the lead, I am offering lead in limited quantities to fellow gunnutterz that are in need, for what it cost me in total for the whole process.

By no way is this an ad for selling to make money, just covering my costs.
 
I have smelted more than a few lbs of WW in my lifetime and this is a great deal for anyone in the area. Just check the cost of tin these days!
 
Fellow Gunnutters, the supply is almost diminished to what I require to hang onto for personal use, I have 30lbs left as of 8pm Ontario time 04 April 2015. If anyone else needs any let me know and we can work something out.

Lots of great youtube videos available that show the whole process from sorting wheel weights to starting the melt to removing the clips to fluxing to pouring the ingots.
 
Just want to say a Thanks to KellyP for sharing the fruit of his labor with all of us here on CGN. I know how much time/effort it takes to source the raw lead and process it into usable ingots so I'm extremely grateful to have some in the stock pile without all of the headache! Can't wait till it warms up so I can get casting!

Thanks again man, you are an excellent example to your fellow nutters!
