In search of some pure lead

Can anyone recommend a place to buy some pure lead in the Midwest states? I am in need of some more for a upcoming swaging session.
Thanks in advance

The only place I know to get certified pure is Rotometals.

Recyclers usually have roof flashing from house remodelers.

Swaging...
Do you need lead ingots or wire?


I get my lead wire from Roto-Metals or Amazon. Pure lead ingots (certified) come from a plumbing supply shop - when the price is right.
