Sheet Lead from a roof

It's perfect for muzzleloader bullets and round ball or for BPCR casters who want to make a known alloy with tin.

Occasionally I can pick some up for under $1/lb which is the standard rate I usually see. At $3/lb ads stay up a long time.
I'm interested if you are anywhere near Calgary or Lethbridge.

Ok thx for the info. Unfortunately, I am in the London Ontario area.
 
Went to the scrap yard a few years ago to sell a pickup truck load of scrap metal and they had a 100# roll of roofers lead laying on the floor for .30 a lb. still have it to melt down into ingots. I use 50 / 50 Lead / Wheel Weights for most all my bullet making. Powder coated an water quenched after curing I let the bullet set for about 2 weeks and they harden up to a little above straight wheel weights which is fine for any rifle or handgun load I shoot. I've pushed PC, gas checked bullets cast with 50/50 up to 2300 fps. with good accuracy and no leading.
