Solid ingots appear to be averaging around $1.50 per pound on eBay. Wheel weights are going on the street for as much as $.50 per pound. Scrap dealers are paying $.20 per pound. I spoke to a scrap dealer/recycler a couple of weeks ago who said he he would resell 500 pounds of scrap lead to me for $550.00. I told him no thanks. I think $25 per hundred pounds would be a fair price to a reloader...that's $.25 cents per pound.RECIT wrote:...wheel weights. What might a 5 gallon bucket be worth? I know what is worth in the scrap yard but not to a reloader...

Re: Academy ammo sales
Reloading isn't a cure all. Powder, primers, and brass are really hard to find, too. At least in the DFW area. I'm stocked on powder and primers, but out of bullets so I finally bought a Lee 20 lb lead pot and six cavity mold. Guess what I'm gonna be doing this weekend?
