What is demand for clean soft new sheet lead?

[Goodknight]

I've acquired a couple hundred pounds of new clean soft sheet lead. Wondering what demand is for this and what would be a fair market price per pound.
Thickness is just below 1/8".
Will likely weigh in tomorrow to see what I actually have.

Get hold of the folks at Lancs Industries. They've moved down to New Mexico but he they were in Kirkland for many years. If they aren't interested, they may know of someone that can use it.

If it's dead soft lead, the muzzle loader guys will want it. You used to be able to buy it for $1/lb, but it's been a few years since I've paid attention so it's probably more now.

Thanks for your suggestion!

I need some for my panic room!
Keep the prying eyes of the gub'mint out of my head.

You know, back in Roman times, sheet-lead like that would have been considered a wagonload of chewing gum worth its weight in salt!

Clean soft lead... good scrap prices are around .40/lb and for purchase fluctuates around .75-$1.25/lb.

Unless someone has a purpose for sheets I think most prefer ingots. A buck a pound seems fair.. and a slight discount for quantity if you want to move it quickly(?)

I buy and sell lead, I get $1.50 a pound for clean lead in usable ingots,. The blackpowder guys and the guys that make either Buckshot or rifled slugs use this soft lead.
Advertise it on the for sale reloading thread and you will sett it.
In that form it should fetch around $1 a pound. If we were closer I'd buy it.

Roto metals sells both antimony and tin to alloy into whatever hardness you want. DR
