[QUOTE="ok-22shooter, post: 4153839, member: 42477"] The last couple of buckets of WWs I purchased were maybe 50% Lead, 30% steel and 20% zinc. I gave the shop about 10 cents a pound for the lot. Converting WW to ingots you lose the weight of the clips and trash, so maybe another 5% gone. Still less than 25 cents a pound for good lead. Last time I was at Jerry's, I thought the price per pound was a bit high but it would be a great place to start. Facebook and craigslist have alloy in ingots for $2 to $3. I am never really sure what their alloy is. I found a rusted cast iron pot for under $20 and use a propane burner turkey fryer to rough process lead into ingot. A friend from church brought me two 15 pound blocks that look like they were dumped out of a pot. Also a really nice ladle and three 4 pound blocks that were molded in the ladle. As I have plenty of ingots, I will probably keep these as HEAVY weights to hold glued wood together. I am keeping the zinc as some are casting bullets from the zinc. Be glad to discuss if you want to send me a PM. Just received a 30 cal and 6 cavity 38 mold and will be casting over the next week or so. Live North Bixby [/QUOTE]
