Plumbing lead

PURE virgin lead is hard to find, and expensive. That cable sheath is not pure lead, but likely as good as you can find
without going to a foundry and buying pure virgin lead.
Pure virgin lead pours excellent bullets, but when you have antimony in the mix, it gets a bit more complicated for the caster
trying to get perfect bullets.
Most of the lead you will find is contaminated with undesireable metals of one type or another.
For the small amounts an airgun uses, and the effort required to make premium bullets, the wise choice is to buy certified virgin lead.

If you buy the sheathing, be very cautious handling it. It gets ripped lengthwise with a saw and the raw edge can cut you badly. No need to
guess what kind of infections lurk there.
