Anyone know what the going price is for lead?
I know that some people use it to make sinkers,bullets,and other things,bt I don't know what the going price is per pound.
Any ideas?

Just go to Kitco base metals to get the latest spot prices - lead right now is about 1.11/lb.

I might add that it usually tracks pretty close to Al and Zn prices.

I got 41 cents a pound for wheel weights.
Pedal to the metal.

Local Ace Hardware sells 5lb ingots of pure lead for plumbing purposes for $15 or 3 per pound new.
