OP, you should advertise your WW's on a local firearms forum or reloading forum, I bet you can sell them locally and avoid shipping costs!
Your yanking my chain, I do agree however that he would make more per pound selling locally, however are we sure that it is lead that he has to sell and not zinc . I did go onto explain to him how to tell the difference with using simple tests without using acids.
The black powder boys would be very upset using zinc for shot, this metal is much harder than lead and raises havoc with the gun barrels.
You can bet your ass any imports coming into North America will have zinc wheel weights affixed to the wheels.
