Bullet alloy is a lot spendier than crap lead for sinkers.

For good lead,, scrap price is about .64 cents a pound,,wheel weights figure half that.I just got 100 lbs of GOOD clean soft lead today by trading a couple ten pound downrigger weights for it.I have the molds for the downrigger weights.But I use it for sinkers and Walleye jigs,,not for bullets.

Keep in mind, wheel weights and a lot of other products are no longer made from lead.

Is lead pipe, like from an old house, "good lead", suitable for sinkers. Absolutely. Great lead for sinkers. Would need to add tin and antimony for cast bullets though! Chris But NOT for round ball... Unless you shoot a smoothie. Mike
