Holy crap! Tell me this isn't true!

[Dave L.]

Well, remember that mysterious bar of lead I found at the store?

I dug it up again, yes, it is pure lead. Soft, pure lead. Unfortunately when I asked my boss about it he said that because of rising costs of metal the price of lead has gone to about twenty dollars a pound.



Tell me this isn't true. What the hell is going on? Why is lead so expensive? I thought people usually gave away tire weights for free.

It's not true.

It's not true. X 2

It's not true.

Dave,

I don't know who told you this but Joe is right, it is not true.

How much lead do you need. I have about 1,000 lbs sitting here that you can have at about $0.45/lbs. I may even go as low as 0.35 if you pay the transport.

Lots of cheap lead here

Might want check & compare prices of other items of merchandise your boss has, that you may want to purchase.

 

[Dave L.]

*whew*

Guess I'll have to ask...

Hey, rlg, about the lead, I'll have to think on it. That's a lot of lead, alright!

- Dave.

 

[rlg]

Send me a PM

If it is just a hand full of lead that you required, we can work something out. I'll just send it to you and you pay the transport via Canada post.

If you are interested, send me a PM...

Here's a price list of a commercial supplier. Depending on your location, it includes shipping. You can order any kind of bullet mix from them. (good to keep in your "favourites" as a reference )

[Dave L.]

- Dave.

 

[fogducker]

It must be that lead alloy like in Kelly's Heroes....scratch off the grey and see the gold-coloured lead underneath

I called a local metal recycling company and they will sell me lead at .55 per lb.
It's not pure lead but it's not at $20/lb. For you the guys who reload shotshells that would mean $ 500.00 for a 25lb bag of lead shot.
