Were can you buy lead ingots to make bullets for black powder rifle in the Oklahoma City area ? Have heard Basspro Shop sells it but not good quality and what I have read wheel weights may be to hard for bullets to be shot in a Springfield Trapdoor .

Evil bay has about the best price I have found, have to look through a lot of listings to find a good deal. Lots of the people trying to sell it are way over priced.
Zipmetals online also has good prices!

When I was casting bullets on a regular basis for my black powder rifle, I found a good and fairly inexpensive source for lead from my local plumber supply that still had it on hand for cast iron waste pipe sealing purposes. Don't know if plumber supplies still have it available anymore considering all the lead toxicity hoopla. Another possibility would be lead-acid (automotive) battery recycling centers . . . and yes, wheel weights are too hard for bullet use.
