Did my very first WWs about a week ago, and I just thought I'd post the cost analysis. WWs purchased at my local recycling center.
Purchased 65 lbs of wheel weights- $30
Netted 50 lbs of usable lead WWs. = (23% loss)
Netted 39.75 lbs of WW ingots. = (20.5% loss)
So my WW lead ingots cost me roughly 75 cents/lb.
Eliminating the middle man seems impossible in my area. So I end up paying more for WWs. Just curious how others compare, as far as finished product.
