Bulk lead source on line???

[MTplainsman]

Hi folks... Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, so if it needs to be moved, I am cool with that. My question is:

What business do you or have you, ordered bulk quantities of lead for casting round ball, swan shot, and the like? I want to make a minimum purchase of 1,000 lbs or more. I don't care what size cakes, ingots, or bar size it comes in. I see that Rotometals is a prospect and have free shipping. I live too far away (trust me) from any reasonable distance of a lead source. Can any of you folks help me out with suggestions, or any advice for that matter, on ordering bulk lead? Thank you, Joel

Free shipping on something that heavy? Wow!

 

[TDM]

Ames, are you affiliated with this company?

Free shipping on something that heavy? Wow!

That's what it says... I am thinking about ordering 1,000 lbs of 99.9% pure lead and 2,000 lbs of #5 magnum lead shot. I punched in all the info and it seems to be true, that the shipping for all 3,000 lbs to my location in NE Montana is free! I need to make sure however. I will call them tomorrow and make certain of this and post what I find.

Nah. But I like the name!

Gotcha, if it was yours I was going to use them for my next order.

I'd given you a discount.

Heck yeah, especially since nowadays it costs 12.95 to mail a paper clip in a matchbox.

I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they read you want 1.5 TONS of lead delivered on a " free shipping " sale. That should be rather funny

Rotometals.

Some bulk items do include freight.

You don't actually get free shipping. It is already built into the price. They sell quantities that size every day.

Post man is going to love you.

He hated me until he found the 6pak in the box and the flag up.
Now he likes me.

Remember years ago some guy here was ordering lead and the Postman asked what was in the box? He told him that it was gold and he had got a good buy on it.

He snapped real quick and told him it was lead, he started thinking what the Postman might do with his next order.
