| Does any one know if lead fishing weights can be for reloading. I found a coffe bucket feull of them, I didn't know if there was a way to find out there value. I will try and post a pic of them soon and sorry i dont have a scale, but an est. whould be 10-20 lb been in my house for 20 years. |
in there, it will make acceptable pistol or BP bullets, as long as you keep them under 1000FPS
| thanks for the input. first of all i dont know if i should be posting this here or in the EE. Iam just asking what is the going rate for lead if there is any, A buddy of mine from the fire station is into casting andi might sell to him or just trade. just trying to find out what they are worth. i will get some photos up in the am. |

Value is a very regional thing.
In CA with all normal supply sources being eliminated that would be worth a lot. Since lead is mainly weight its shipping cost - even using flat rate boxes, adds up fast. All depends on local prices - call your local scrap metals dealer. |
