    Solid clean scrap lead is roughly $.75 per pound. It really depends on what you have. Wheel weights are about $.50 per pound. Properly alloyed casting lead sells at around $1.00 per pound or a little more.

    Here is a site that sells bullet casting material, and already cast muzzle loading balls. Just a little more than a $1 for "Lyman #2 casting alloy."

    At the price of balls, it would probably be cheaper to buy ready cast than cast your own.

  • For scrap/range lead I wouldn't pay more than .50 per pound simply because I don't know what it's been alloyed with. For known alloys I'd pay as high as a $1.50 per pound.

    Commodity lead is about 93 cents per pound.

    I just checked and the scrap price is 30¢ a pound here in Central Florida. :)
