With lead pushing $3 a pound in some places, figure your propane and about half your time at minimum wage. That will give some idea of what the cost factor is to many of the retailers.

Plus I recently bought 50 pounds of WW in ingot form for $60 plus $10.00 for shippinf, at the same time I bought 60 pounds of range lead in "loaf" form for $49 and $10.00 shipping.

I figure what I get from my back stop is maybe $20 in my costs, but it took a while to figure out how to get the lead separated from the dirt.
