If you'll deliver 70 pound flat rate boxes of wheel weight alloy - alloy clean and ready to cast not mixed wheel weights with zinc and steel and iron and dirt - for $1 per pound I'll cheerfully give you a fair amount of business
Myself, I personally cannot furnish the alloy. I do however purchase it just like that either clip on wheel weights already smelted and fluxed or stick on wheel weights in the same condition. All sorted out with no other junk inclusions that I have noted. Have I had it tested for content, nope, but others have who have also purchase the same alloy. The person I buy from does it for a living and I see no reason why they would tarnish the good name and reputation they have built up simply for profit. They have plenty of other folks who will take the "whatever" alloy for fishing weights and other similar items.
I do still smelt everything I purchase into my own ingots and in the process I also flux it at least once or twice during the process. If for no other reason to make me feel good about it. I run it at 454 full load pressures and have no issues with it what so ever. I also have poured up pounds and pounds of H&G #130 and #50's with it as well with perfect fillout in both cases. They all come out in the weights they are supposed to and shoot to as close to the same POI as I can hold them. I don't know what more I could ask of it but it is the same hardness as my own WW alloy and it gets just as hard when water dropped or heat treated. So as far as I am concerned it is clip on wheel weight alloy, and I pick it up for what I posted above.
It is like finding your own tire shop who gives you the best deal in town I guess but I know of several others who also sell it for the same pricing. I just prefer to deal with the same folks time and time again so I can send them my personal check and they ship the lead knowing I am good for what we agreed on. It took quite a few orders but I even have one fellow who ships things and then gives me a heads up it's coming. Then I have to get on the ball to get the money on it's way. Not how I really like it but I don't mind it too awfully much either.
