Lead all depends on what it is. Roofing lead (low alloy) is worth money,
clean linotype is worth even more to shooters. Wheel weights, plumbing
or dirty lead are barely worth the transport costs and batteries you
can't give away.


Wheel weights actually are good for shooters, better than linotype in
modern high pressure guns, the extra tin makes it harder, casts truer to
size in the mould and doesn't tend to *strip* in the rifling as much so
can be driven harder/faster with less leading to clean out after, base
melting can still be as issue though....
