getting down to the dregs here - I have 4 ingots (2.5 pounds) of
linotype alloy that I can ship to anywhere in the USA for a total of
$18.50 - if interested, drop me a note via the email listed on my web
page, www.wbnoble.com

There is still a quantity of separator alloy (more tin) and lead ingots
available too.

Too far away for me, but I'm curious: what's it good for?

the linotype alloy is one of the lead/tin/antimony alloys that seems to
be favored by those who cast their own bullets. it's also useful for
toy soldiers and other such cast items because it is pretty stiff and
casts nicely.

Might be better to hawk it on Craigslist. Shipping is going to be a killer. Pretty much
a So Cal only deal if you allow pickup.

You can put a lot of lead in a flat rate box.

IIRC flat rate boxes have a 70 pound limit... they're a great deal for
small heavy stuff. They even give you the box for free!

aaah, wes/?? I said "delivered in the USA", so my $18.50 offer included
shipping within the USA (but, sadly, not canada - add another $10 for
Canada).

They have them free for the taking at the post office [1]... or you can
order larger quantities from the usps web site. They even ship them to
you postage free. Be sure to get the size you need, the shipping 'flat
rate' varies a bit for the different box sizes.

Erik

[1] In my (limited) experience, Flat Rate box stock can vary somewhat
from one post office to another. If they don't have the box/es you need
out in the lobby, try asking. They sometimes have more behind the
counter, or stashed in the back.

I ship metal targets that way sometimes.
Four or five boxes. Heavy. I build in 1/4" wood
sides/top/bottom - all six - to spread the weight
across the whole surface. These boxes are tossed from
one site to another - then into conveyor belts then tossed...
