Pouring lead and tin?

Complete newbie here, sorry y'all. Ive been making 2-dimensional sculptures, using a soldering iron and stained glass solder, for a few years. The solder is 60/40 tin/lead. I am interested in mixing a batch of these metals and getting a little more creative, but I have a couple questions.
1. Where is a good place to get raw metals and supplies?
2. Is the 60/40 ratio by weight or volume?
Thanks for any info. or advice.
