Cheapest place to buy lead online?

**Maillemaker** · 07-22-2013

I currently buy 99.9% pure lead online from rotometals. It's about $2.35 a pound with free shipping over $100. Anyone know of a cheaper place?

Great web site!

But they do not offer free shipping on their lead like Rotometals does.

When you price out 60 pounds of lead, including shipping, Rotometals is very slightly cheaper.

I plan to have lead at the Nats in Oct. I will post here around the end of August at which time I will have a price. The price last spring was $1.65 a pound. Watch for my post "FRED'S LEAD". My lead is virgin lead and is 99.99 pure. I have been suppling members here for at least 25 years. I will also bring a load down at the other skirmishes if enough is ordered.

Thanks for looking,

While I try not to buy anything outside of a steal deal on this anti-gun site......ebay usually has it cheap.I sold there years ago. I made a mold that fit the inside of the small USPS flat rate box and it ran$4.145 shipping. They hated me because the block of lead that fit in it weighted51 pounds. They reduced the size of the box so I don't know what will fit but I'd guess 30-32lbs.

Yeah, I'm always jealous when I see people buying your lead at those great prices!

Unfortunately I'll probably never go to a nationals as it's a 10-12 hour drive from here and not something my family with little kids will be into so it's hard to justify the vacation time.

Call it an education vacation. You just happen to be stopping at Winchester. Throw the keys to the wife with a "have fun, see you at dinner." Virginia has lots of things to see and do.

If you want the lead deal from Fred at Nationals ASK ONE OF your team mates if they'd mind bring it back for you.

Yeah, but it's not much of a vacation for my wife to babysit two small children (4 and 7) in an RV while I go have fun shooting - she'd just as soon stay at home and babysit where at least she has her own things to putter around with.

How many days out of the 6 days of the event do you actually shoot?

I think if we are driving 10 hours for a week anywhere with the RV my wife will insist it be Disney.

I've had folks pick up caps and powder for me before, but we don't always have people going to the Nationals, and I'd hate to ask someone to pick up 100 pounds of lead.
