SchuetzenDave, I contacted John Gartner at the location you provided. He also provided their Eastern location. BTW, I also found a couple of other Canadian suppliers.

Thanks for the list. I use Metalex. I think when they say smaller quantities they mean something different than what you or I might mean. They only have one ingot size which is about 60lbs. I bought 360 pounds of pure lead from them last year.

I've also bought pre-mixed lead/tin alloys from here:
