Dominicrobed Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Not sure if this it a stupid question but where do you guys buy / get your lead to melt and make your own shot ? Thinking about going down the route of making my own 20 bore cartridges Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 If you're friendly with a roofer or garage owner its helpful! Roofing lead off-cuts that they can't be bothered to put into the scrapyard or old wheel weights do the trick if its just for shot. You've got to be a bit more picky when it comes to cast bullets though. You can obviously just buy rolls of roofing lead but like everything else these days, its not cheap!

fruitloop Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Are you a member of a rifle club if yes ask if you can clear some from out the back of the targets if not have a chat with a local plumber/builder/roofer and ask them if they will let you have some at the same prices that they get at the scrappers have a look at the london metal exchange and see what scrap lead is selling at so you know what to pay as a scrapper will pay less than what thay get for it .I have no problem s at the moment as I have about 3/4 people that save it up for me and when thay need something making or repairing they pay me in lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
