I ordered 35 pounds from Rotometals shipped via USPS.  I was more worried about my mailbox hanging tough.  It held up but I am sure the mail carrier had to leave the seat.

I have since acquired 110 pounds of pure sheet lead from an Xray room door.  I do reclaim a lot of lead from my rubber mulch bin to recast so should last a while.  The .30 and .357 do use up a lot of lead.  155 grains a pop from the .357 Slayer alone.

I have a mold that takes a pound of lead per 14 bullets. 

My calculator equates that to be 500 grains a pop.  That's a lot of air (assuming air).  I think .357 is a good cut off point for air.  I move onto powder beyond that due to not much reduction in the report beyond that.  This at least being the main reason I use air.

No air power for this one.

I have 450 grains for air, as well as a few lighter in the same caliber.

I did cast up some 25 cal hunter magnums so I'm all set for quite a while for these too.
