Another source for casting lead is Lead Products Company here in Houston. Last time I bought from them it was right at $2.00/# for clean ingots of 6%/2%/92% hardball alloy.

They sell it in 27# ingots which divide into 9# subingots that fit nicely into a 20# lee pot.

At $2.00/pound I consider it a bargain since it's ready to cast, needs no skimming or fluxing, and it's a consistent alloy. I do enjoy smelting wheel weights and make a LOT of bullets from WW material too, but I use the hardball alloy for the stuff I sell.

I'd love to get a steady source of wheel weights, but that's hard to come by, at least for me.

For those of you looking to either get started, or get a solid source, it might be worth putting together a group buy of that stuff and seeing what kind of discounts they would work with us on.
