Thought this might be of interest to most of us.

Yes indeed.  Long about the time I'm hunkered down during January's cold weather, the market will be down and I'll be in good shape to be reloading for 2009.  Something to look forward to in my otherwise least favorite month in Cleveland.

OK, as they said on Sat Night Live, "Never Mind."  Was funny, I did a search on lead prices and it popped right up. ::)

Ya can still get a good deal with tire balancin weights at the scrap yards.  Rumor has it that they ain't gonna be made of lead 'fore too long, so nows the time ta jump on em.
     The expansion of a large asian country has played hell on all metal prices.  Ask yer local welder.

Over here in Britain, lead is at such a premium that the thieves  are actually stripping it from private dwellings. Roof flashings, porch facings etc are not safe, Church roofs are being taken wholesale and , strangely enough, the scrap metal dealers (who don't know where it's coming from) are making a fortune! The police can't seem to catch anybody, even though scrap dealers have to keep a register of all suppliers. Cast iron manhole covers are also disappearing...but I can't cast from them.Ooops!!
The wheel balance weights are already useless alloy over here.
Trouble is...when I'm paid to do a job, I always carry it through. (Angel Eyes, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly)

My price for lead just went to zero.  A construction contact ripped out a hospital x-ray room and the lead landed here.  There's a lot of it.  Life is good.

I'm sure that it is an alloy unsuitable for casting (I do not cast. . . .yet), but my dentist gives me buckets of the backing metal from dental x-rays. It is malleable and has the same weight of lead. I use it to weight my model railroad rolling stock for better traction.

One of these days I'll have to have a buddy who does cast do some experimenting with smelting.

Fringe benefit is that it smells minty fresh.
