I prefer to buy new lead.
You can buy a variety of bullet casting lead from Northern Smelters.
Or you can buy pure sheet lead from Bunnings, but it's expensive.
Or you can order lead shot in 10kg bags for about $9-10 per kilo.
Or you can buy bulk birdshot loads for about $100 per 250rds and pour the shot out of those as required. 250 1-oz shells gives you 15.625lb of nice hard lead - that's 109,000gn of bullets (nearly 2000 55gn .223 bullets). And you still have 250 primed and charged shells you can load with whatever you like.
Or, I spent two-and-a-half hours yesterday with the metal detector digging bullets out of the dam wall
