Best place to buy scrap lead
- Thread starter jcpal
- Start date
Check your local classified like Kijiji and FB marketplace, usually a few guys selling already processed lead, or scrap like lead flashing or linotype. Wheel weights are a gamble, shops either already have a disposal method, or you are getting a increasingly large portion of iron and zinc weights.
Days of cheap easy to find lead is gone.
LOts of people looking for lead. Advertized once on market place and have at least 5 people asking for more.
Expect to pay anywhere from $2-7, with the most common pricing being between $2.50- $5.00/LB

I've got some nice ingots if you are located near Stratford ON.
Not worth the hassle to buy scrap lead and melt it into ingots if it's just for a small amount.
IMO you'd be better off spending your time in buying ready to use ingots at $2.00 to $3.00 per lb and cast a few more slugs and buck shot than you need and sell those to your shooting buddies. This will likely pay for your lead.

That will get you a few lifetimes worth of lead and a few days of work getting and processing. Not sure if that would be the best advice to a beginner caster
