Is there a foundry in Colorado, Utah, Nebraska, or Kansas? I would like to pick a couple thousand pounds of pure lead and a couple hundred pounds of tin as cheaply as possible.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

I can't answer your question directly, but I can tell you that tin typically goes for about $7 per lb, and pure lead can be high, too. If you are going to alloy for BPCR or similar, you might be better off just buying the alloy... Either way you are going to spend a LOT of money.

JMHO...

I think you are looking for "smelter" rather than a foundry. There used to be one in Omaha, NE, but it was forced out of business by the EPA. There is no other one in Nebraska.

There are a couple of foundrys in Nebraska. They only make steel from scrap steel, though. No lead.

You might try calling Magma Engineering in Chandler, AZ. Last time I visited he had a list of smelters in AZ, and may be able to help in other states. He manufactures and sells the production casting equipment used by many of the commercial bullet casters.....

Call Denver Bullets (303) 893-3146 and they can give you the name of the foundries in Denver. I think one is Atlas Metals (303) 623-0143.
