For what I run, I shoot for as pure as I can find. I normally run round balls and conicals. A plumber friend of mine, gave me about 40lbs. of ingots and still have plenty. I do not cast for cartridges. Old lead pipe is good as well as electrical cable, sinkers and wheel weights. Old roofing lead is okay but I don't see much of that. Know a fella that rakes the dirt berms at one of our ranges. I also have a source from a foundry whose purity is unknown and I have to test it with my hardness tester. Generally, if I can cut it with a pocket knife, I'm okay. I do a bit of sorting but not much. Sometimes I also make decoy weights for my kids. ... Be safe !!!
