Selling used lead how to price?

[Dr. Kralenstein]

All you pellet makers, what's a good price per pound for good used lead? I also have some cast 8mm and 148 swc boolits and some other sizes all ready to be melted down. Was going to buy all the stuff and make my own ammo but just not motivated to do so. I had a for sale listing but removed it for no set price. I've probably got close to 100lbs of the stuff, all pure lead from powder burner rounds. Most are flat from smacking steel.

It's usually around $3 a pound for pure lead on eBay. The more you buy the better the price normally.

Shipping is the killer !

You can get 30 pounds in a small flat rate box. Yes, my mail carrier hates me.

 

[Dr. Kralenstein]

I'm not looking forward to the 50lb box myself!

 

[Dr. Kralenstein]

I just went and moved the bucket and I'm no weakling... its gotta be 100lb of lead there. Can't find my old floor scale.

3/4 of a 5 gallon plastic bucket was 78 pounds of cowboy action lead if memory serves me. There was sand and pine straw mixed in too.

A gallon of lead weighs 94 pounds.

I buy my pure lead ingots form Seabrook Fishing Sinkers for $1.92 / pound delivered for 45 pounds. That is with their 25% off sale which is still running. Very clean, pure lead. The best I have found at any price. You could probably get more than locally or on eBay as Seabrook isn't that well known.
