Hi everyone. I've begun the process of gearing up to cast for my growing collection of Victorian arms and am having difficulties securing a supply of lead. Given that I will be casting for black powder arms such as the Snider, Enfield Muzzle loader etc I will require pure lead. Can anyone suggest a commercial source for pure lead? To head off the inevitable, I don't have the time to scrounge scrap yards and the like for possible sources of scrape lead. My local range has offered me all the lead I can carry if I'm willing to clean out the bullet trap but this lead isn't pure lead and therefore unsuitable for my purposes. I see the Rusty Wood Trading Co in B.C offers pure lead by the pound but shipping from B.C to Quebec will likely be high for say 50-100 pounds. Can anyone offer alternative options?
Thank you
Try stained glass window shops, I've acquired several hundred pounds of the stuff for free,they are more than happy to have someone take it away. It is good clean scrap material with no impurities.
