in safety and accuracyI have slowly depleted my last big supply of lead and am finding good quality scrap lead virtually impossible to find. Looking to resuppply so looked at rotometals and find lead is almost $3 per pounds. was not too long ago that it was readily available for under $1 pound. But I think I am about to bite the bullet and order a couple hundred pounds to keep me going.
Rotometals does supply virtually pure lead which with all Ive seen on this and a few other sites is probably as a good idea as much of the lead being found, scrounged, otherwise located is eother wheel weights, #2 alloy or lord only knows what else . I saw some lead being advertised a while back n ebay asked how it was being tested and the answer was fingernail. other than my fishing lures, I cast a lot of round balls, mini balls and maxiballs for muzzle loaders. Those guys do care about having pure lead and it does make a difference especially with safety and accuracy.
