My Son and I have supplied for one of the Sponsor Boats and for a large Outdoor store . If you don't have the lead supply or the time/money to invest then just go with Sam . My Son sold his business when the lead started to dry up but the orders didn't . Running larger sized sinkers takes a lot of time . Skimming/ingoting dirty lead is nasty dangerous work . We ran 2 Lee pots and a one burner and a 25lb caldron. If you didn't ingot your lead before you fed it into the Lee's they would clog/keep running if you didn't scrape the slag/ash off the sides . Leave it to the experts . Your life is worth more than saving a few cents on your sinkers . Sam has the cleanist lead on the market and is great with deadlines .
