what is a good website to buy bulk lead to make weights and jigs out of?

ebay

I used to get my lead from tire stores. Old weights are always laying around.

If you want it cheap or maybe even free check out hospitals and group doctors' offices.  They get radioactive meds in lead containers.  I got over 200# of it free a few years ago.

If you have any metal recycling centers check them.  I bought lead for .25 # at one a while back.

    Here is a trick I found. If you have a public rifle range go at a time when you know it will not be busy. Ours has a 10ft high dirk embankment to stop the bullets. Just go and dig the lead slugs out of that if you have on. Plus slug lead is soft and melts at a low temp.

ok thanks, i just bought some off ebay but i think next time im going to just get some lead pipes.

My Dad and I load up on bulk lead at our local mom & pop wheel/tire store. They want it out of there most of the time and its sometimes cheaper. But Lead is getting ridiculous now

Yep! I got a lifetime supply by sifting slugs out of the sand backstop at a local gun club range (the range is also used by law enforcement agencies). I should add that I am, of course, a member of the club and had permission to remove the lead. I probably have 200 lbs. of clean, soft lead. That'll make a lot of 1/4 oz. jigs ;D
