Lead source

knightrider

I was looking at casting bullets sometime and was wanting to know if there is a source on the internet or a cheap source like wheel balancers that could be used. This just for my own personal knowage and interist.

X-ray repair companies; companies selling used xray equipment. This equipment has counterweights and shielding made of lead in many cases.

Also, any tire shop has wheel weights.

I cast tens of thousands of bullets; it is fun easy and very cost effective if you are creative enough to scrouge the lead.

Hello sorry to say lead prices have gone up and it used to easy to find in plumbers shops and print shops . But unless you live in the BOONIES like one knowledged poster [:o)][:D][:o)] the softest pure lead or the best moulding LINOTYPE is hard to find these days . Check with your scrap metal dealers. Used to be very costly to ship but be aware that the U.S. post office has a pre paid box of just over $8.00 that will hold about 75 to 100 pounds won't make your mail man happy. [xx(] I get heavy stuff like this shipped in these boxes all the time. "PRAISE THE HARD-BALL GUN" I guess it goes with out saying cast either outdoors or a vented area dont eat or drink while casting and wash your hands some people even use a mask with the correct type filters.

I buy wheel weights from tire dealers that usually save the old ones that they pull off.
