So, I've been looking at buying hardball casting lead ingots for making my own projectiles, and it looks like this is a financially losing proposition. At the cost of lead online, before any shipping charges, it works out to about 86¢ per projectile, based on 240 grn projectiles. ($25 per 6 lb ingot) I can buy pre made and lubed cast bullets for about 15¢ per projectile. (Hunter's Supply.)
Doesn't make sense.
I know my dad used to collect wheel weights from tire shops, for free, but I think those days are mostly gone now. (Few shops even use lead weights anymore; they're mostly magnesium now.)
Is there anyway to make this financially feasible, or are people just doing it for the fun of doing it?
