Sorry if this is a Hijack Owen, but I went into Metal Supermarket in Edmonton yesterday, they had ordered the alum. for my rocket launcher/radar arch, anyways, they had pure lead there.....................5lb. ingots - $4.65 a lb. my good guy price for ordering the alum.!!!
At that price per pound I think I would start using cut rocks instead of lead cannon balls. Whats was the price of silver?Originally Posted by Labman2

Lol, no silver, but they charged me $95.00, for 20' of 1 1/4 6063 T5 sched 40 alum. pipe. They had to get it out of B.C.!!
I know people here don't agree with melting down wheel weights, but hell lead is lead, it still sinks! LOL
Wheel weights are not lead anymore. I was give buckets of them and tried to melt them down. All I got out of it was a blue metal that wouldnt even mold. Plus it stunk really bad. Now that being said I did get some old tire weights that had been around such a long time the steel clips had rusted off. That was great lead, but have not ever come across anything like that again since. Lead around here is getting harder and harder to find. Might just have to start diving in order to collect lead for remelts.

Must have got lucky for a change, the 2 buckets I have melt fine, the clips float to the top and it's easy to skim them off.
The balls are a little shiny though. I'm not sure that matters much.
I had a tiger torch in the melting pot and the stuff wouldn't melt. Some tire stores will give the stuff away as it lead valve stinks.

$4.65 is a good deal for 5lb ignot pure .I bought 2 tons and paid 1.08 plus hst yesterday .Finding cheap lead in large amounts if very difficult.Didn't want to but what can you do.I don't think my brother in law can bring back a few tons on the plane on the way back from the riggs LOL.Wheel weights are bad to use for cannon balls thees too much crap in them unless you coat them then its not too bad plus your right they stiiiiiink and smoke.I wish I can find tons for under a buck.Oh well good luck.
CCB read the post again he said it was $4.65 a pound on 5 pound ingots. You would need to start selling cannon balls for $100.
