I picked up a couple of five gallon buckets from my buddy at the tire store about a week ago (two-man lift and we still struggled a little!) I've sorted through about 3/4 of it. Out of that, I'd say about 20% was zinc or steel. Out of the lead, maybe 30% was soft stick on that works great for my muzzleloading guns and the rest was relatively hard clip-ons.
I haven't seen much of a change in the quantity of non-lead weights over the past couple of years. The tire shops here still use lead.
Now, if only there was a way to get clean wheelweights...but beggars can't be choosers!
