Sorry I couldn't resist. Picked up 2300 lbs (metric ton, give or take) of sheet lead yesterday. I should be set for pure lead for quite some time.

Tomorrow once I get back from a scout campout I will fire up the turkey frier and start converting this to ingots. Looks like a hard, sweaty day.
Somebody got a good haul! Congrats!
Schweeet!
It is a real pain to cut down. Melted 600 lbs on Saturday and was VERY tired at the end of a long day. Cut the large sheets with an axe into strips and then lowered them into a dutch oven. Still very sweaty hard work.
Probably gonna shop for a sawzall today after work.
A old paper cutter might work. You might coul make a kind of sheer simular...
If we were closer I'd help you reduce those sheets with this...

Good luck!
I had the same thought on the paper cutter. My parents used to run a small print shop in Indiana and had a cutter similar to this one:

I think it would do the job. I think my dad still has a blade or two for it, so I might see if I can rig something with the blade and a shop press.
