It should cost approximately $29.55 to ship 200 lbs of lead anywhere
in the US. Do it in USPS flat rate boxes. Let their jaws drop.

Cripes. I can't run that fast anymore. g

Seriously, I would probably use about 5 boxes instead of 3, but USPS
FRE is the way to go. Up to 70 lbs per box.

I am NOT shipping lead in flat-rate containers. I have a conscience. d8-)
Richard can find lead where he lives, and if he finds someone with a wrecked
sailboat or something, he probably can get it a lot cheaper than the
commercial rate.

My Cape Dory Typhoon had 450 lb. of lead in the keel. There must be some old
sailboats around where he is.

Agreed.
that's why I was asking about the Dallas metroplex area.

Those old sailboats are very attached to their keels. VBG

The only one laying around fro free pillage is a Catalina 25.
It has a cast iron keel.
No help there...
