Used tire weights can be had for free at most tire shops but you have to remove the steel inserts before melting or it's a major hassle. Also you might want to check into any pending laws about casting lead, before hand. The EPA is trying to get rid of it.

Sounds a bit high to me, but I'm cheap. Year before last I could buy cast lead for $2/lb for pieces under 2oz, $1.50/lb for pieces 2-8oz, and $1/lb for pieces over 8oz. with $.10 for every brass eyelet. Now the guy doesn't cast any more, unfortunately.
