    Default lead question

    gauging interest in lead cakes . so i have been cleaning a range site and have tons of unprocessed and unprepared range lead . so the question is it worth my time to melt it down into cakes . would anybody be interested in some good lead for casting and so on. or should i just send it off the the recycling center .
    could really use some input on this one thanks

    My teeth hurt just thinking about lead cakes. Besides, I'm not that hungry right now.

    if its under a dollar a pound, than yes, i am interested. but, i can buy reclaimed shooting range lead in ingots for just under a $1.00 pound shipped.

    So, if you can beat that, you will probably sell plenty.

    I get wheel weights for free from the tire shop down the street, but might be interested in the lead if it's a good price...
