Lead prices
Anybody have the latest status on lead prices ? I have been hearing that it has dropped a little, but the bullet and ammo prices sure don't reflect that.
Re: Lead prices
Takes diesel fuel to transport those finished bullets and ammo to sellers. Last time I filled the tanks on my truck it ran about $640 for roughly 180 gallons. End cost of shipping is always passed onto the consumer. The diesel price situation is bad enough in some places that owner operators are parking their trucks or simply quitting the business.kooz wrote:Anybody have the latest status on lead prices ?

From what I can find the price has dropped a few pennies a pound and leveled out some in the last month, same for copper, zinc, and brass.
But not enough to impact our price and I doubt we will ever see the prices we enjoyed a year ago.
I have gone overboard in the WW department, with well over 4 five gallon buckets full in the last 40 days.
Plus built a bullet trap do do most of my lead shooting with.

Once lead and copper, both non-ferous metals leavel out we may see some releif, but dont look for it for 10 years, we will just have to live with it, China, India and Pakastain are useing more and more, I have heard that lead shot is being used in nuk reactors for shealding, instead of lead sheet, but only a rumor..
I worked on the cu business for 40 years and still follow the cu market, as it reflects $ on my stock..
Hope this helps some..
