Just a note @etrain16 , it appears that rotometals has added a bullet scrap ingot to their inventory and it's on the edge of being reasonably priced at ~1.50 per pound. Free shipping on that one. I recently melted down some unknown scrap I had collected and by paying attention to the details and with a little coaching from @Certaindeaf via pm I ended up with close to a thousand really nice projectiles for my .38 cal needs. I added some magnum shot to harden the alloy a bit and I'm very pleased with the result. Free lead is better of course, but 3 cents a bullet isn't bad IMOP from rotometals if you come up short. I might order some myself just to supplement what I have. I've been eyeballing some linotype they have there also; while more expensive, if used sparingly to harden free scrap alloys it would last quite a while.
