[QUOTE="ok-22shooter, post: 3892945, member: 42477"] Been over a year since I started this thread. Went back to the same tire shop on Saturday and picked up 400 pounds of WW mix, 5 - 5 gallon buckets a little over half full. 3 hours into sorting and I have the following: WW clip on 170 lbs WW glue on 48 lbs - mostly pure lead WW Zinc 20 lbs Rejects 205 lbs Rejects are steel weights, some flat Zinc weight, missed lead clip ons and flat lead weights. I will haul the rejects to the snap yard next time I have enough brass/copper/Alum to make it worth a trip. Will probably get about half of what I paid for the 400 lbs. I think this may be the last time I do this unless I can come up with a source that is mostly lead. 3 hours of my time to get stuff sorted, it will take most of a day to get all this into ingots though I will be casting bullets of a bottom pour electric pot during the day. Not sure I will be able to find enough primers to shoot the 400 pounds of WW lead I will have. It does make that $2 a pound that most are asking for clean WW ingots seem a little more reasonable. Some are trying Zinc successfully as bullet material. Let me know if anyone is interested in the Zinc. [/QUOTE]
