How much should I expect to pay for clean lead suitable for cap & ball bullet casting? How much should scrap lead go for?
I have all the dentists in my metropolis ( both of them) save me the lead foil from the dental x-ray film they use. The film apparently has a very thin piece of lead foil attached to it to protect the film itself from ambient radiation. This foil must be removed before the film can be used. I get a box of foil each time I have a checkup and my wife, who goes to the other dentist in town, gets one too. Prior to me asking, they were just throwing it away. I have received about 15 pounds, total, and it is pure, soft lead.
