Re: Lee Ingot Mold
I also use that mold. I got a couple of 5 gallon buckets of new lead seals from my local electrical utility when they went to plastic seals for their billing meters. They are pure lead so that I know what I'm starting with when I make my bullet alloys. That was one of the molds I used to make bulk pure lead ingots.

Re: Lee Ingot Mold
Yeah, right place at the right time! I see where the last lead foundry in the U.S. was forced to close their doors recently. That could bode ill for both reloaders and shooters.

Re: Lee Ingot Mold
Honestly, I don't see it, and I think everyone got their panties in a twist over nothing when that happened. Things governed by supply and demand always have a way of finding a natural balance. If there's a demand for lead, it'll get met one way or another. If supply or prices start to be a problem with existing sources, someone else will step in to make money off the market opportunity. Remember that whole "life finds a way" concept from Jurassic Park? The same principal applies to economics and trade.mercman wrote:I see where the last lead foundry in the U.S. was forced to close their doors recently.
