FWest Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 When I purchased my used 550 the seller gave me a couple 20 lb boxes of lead ingots. Just curious when Dillon sold this as the boxes were labeled by Dillon. I don't see it for sale now, unless I just can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Probably right after the Gov't labeled lead a hazardous material ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 could be he repacked his lead ingots in dillon boxes he had lying around from something else? unless they are labled 'lead ignots' and 'dillon' on the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absocold Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Don't recall Dillon ever selling lead. If you're looking for lead and don't want the hassle of scrounging for wheel weights, Missouri Bullet Co sells certified hardball lead for $2.40 a pound shipped.

Absocold Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Obviously a Made In China forgery. Dillon doesn't sell components. Just kidding, Dillon lead is a new one on me. I wonder how old it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread1911 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Wow that is certainly a piece of history. GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well, it's newer than 1963 because the address has a ZIP code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Email or call Dillon and ask? Their customer service is top notch and I would imagine someone there could answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutist Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I remember seeing lead for sale in the Blue Press back in the 90's... oh...I feel old all of the sudden. LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Those go back a while, when Meister bullets were a local company. It has been at least ten years since we sold ingots. Never a large seller, but good alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
