I've been collecting mostly pure lead an wheel weights for many years when you could basically get it just for the asking. Being in the printing industry I've collected Linotype an Monotype in various quantities as well as a bucket full of bar solder I got from an old retired plumber.
I mainly cast 50/50 pure/wheel weights for most all my non magnum handgun and subsonic rifle loads and use straight wheel weights for my 357 mag. and rifle loads. At times I may water quench the wheel weight bullet or heat treat them as needed. I'm saving my Lino & Monotype for when an if I run out of wheel weight alloy. I recover a good bit of my fired bullets from the backyard berm along with lead from jacketed bullet other shooters leave behind, I usually melt that down test the BHN and mix it accordingly.
Some wheel weight bars and range scrap muffins processing I did earlier this past spring.
