I've got plumbers lead or lead from Scuba weights. I've also used tire weights and didn't have a problem.

My buddy and I shot an archery tournament at Briarfield Iron Works state park this fall, this is the site of the Alabama state M/L championship. We picked up about 100 lbs of lead in an hour out of the berm.

El Destructo:
Do you have any big Electrical Companies around you? The ones that do Industrial and Commercial Wiring. These Companies use 15,000 kv and up Cable for high voltage ...and this wiring is shielded with a pure lead casing....I have absconded as much as 400 pounds from their dumpster at a time....this stuff I'd so soft that you can tear it by hand....perfect for percussion or flintlock ammo...just a thought.
stickbender:
Dang, El D, I never knew that. Well that is another source, I can look for. Thanks. I just have to find a company that does that kind of work. ::)
