| Rotometals is having a sale this weekend, $20 off when you spend $150 plues free shipping. They have a variety of alloys and at least you know what you're buying. |

| I am lucky. A nearby shop swages bullets. I get the "weeps" for spot lead price. Pencil thin 1" long strands that are extruded out the end of the forming die. 97% lead, 3% antimony. |

| It does help when one knows the products origin. Can save a consumer money. Here's a couple of examples. Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is the composite of nail polish remover. A few bucks by the gallon but a fortune by the ounces In my business I buy my chemicals by the carboy..A well know name that deals in leather products has their own brand of glue. It is formica cement,same story.A pittance for a pint,a fortune for a gallon.Great profit for the corp. at the exspense of the American public.O.K. off my soap box now.It is still true though.
Never mistake motion for action.

| I think you are confused. You forget the cost of packaging and shipping. Beer is a good example. The aluminum can costs more than the beer. Essentially beer companies are companies that produce cans at the lowest price. quote: Originally posted by NormanConquest:

| Rotometals is the place to go. Your P.O. carrier will hate them as they use Priority Mail flat rate boxes. |

| You can often find range scrap or even clip on WW metal already cleaned and cast into ingots for around a buck a pound shipped, if you order enough. Medium flat rate boxes are only around $12.35 or so, and most guys eat that cost if you buy enough metal. |
