ETA: range scrap is anywhere from (free if you are lucky) 10 to 65 cents, but takes a lot of effort and fuel to render into usable product. Wheel weights are around 85 cents unsorted (so you get to deal with zinc and steel) unless you have a good day and score a deal. You can pay $1 to $2 depending on type for guaranteed alloy. HTH. |

Here is a tip that may get you some lead. I get alot of my lead from my sheetmetal guy. They use it making roof flashings and what not. I have about 1 ton of pure lead sitting in bars in my garage. My sheetmetal was selling it to a recycler for 40 cents a pound and I talked him into giving it to me instead. I do give him sinkers and bullets though and have been his customer for 20 years. The bad part of pure lead is the cost of tin, I run 20/1 for my .45 and 9mm bullets out of Mihec brass molds

I'm about to buy 223, 300, 7.62x29 and 9mm Hornady dies.
Brownell's has a decent price and the free shipping code and I just noticed Midway has $20 off $200. Any other online suppliers have any good deals? |

Craig's list scuba diving weights. SCUBA shops also have it for not horrible prices but most of the new stuff is coated in rubber and it's a pain to get off. |

Just went to Graf's shop today. They had a 4lb jug of Universal, but the guy ahead of me grabbed it. I did score 2lb of Autocomp.
Their rifle powders were plentiful. On another note, I am looking for some used 45 ACP brass. |
