I go to my local tire store the last monday of each month and they usually have about 2/3 of a 5 gallon bucket for me each month, this keeps up with my monthly shooting and enough to set a couple hundred bullets aside. I went today and they only had 15-20 pounds this will probably only clean up to 10 pounds. I went to 4 other places, two said no, they send em off to make batteries, one already had a caster taking them and the other only had a handfull. I have ~3800 38 special loaded up so im good on that for a good 8 months. I just started loading 45 and only have~900 rounds and that wont last me long!
What do you guys do for lead. Im going to have to *cringe* buy *cringe* lead from a scrap yard. What do I ask for, how do I know what is good, how do I guesstimate the hardness and what is a fair price to pay?
