Nope guess someone wasn’t paying attention when they cut it
 
Midland lead produce both milled and cast lead cast stuff is just plain awful and it's much harder to work.
 
As L-P., I'd say it's been stored badly, probably the bottom layer on a wooden pallet and its collapsed.

Or it's been dropped from height.
I doubt the mill it was rolled on is capable of producing curved sheet.

The irony is if you wanted a sheet with a slight curve in it you wouldn't be able to buy one.
 
Very true BUT!!! Midland lead did say there was a problem as somebody else had complained and (no idea how) it was a mistake at the factory.

That’s cheap cast lead. We always use milled lead.
screw your supplier down and that’s what they give you

Yes it’s crap stuff. “100% recycled” was the 1st lot. Tinny crap. More Tin than lead!!! I never bought it and wouldn’t buy that s#*t. You’ll never beat Caulder lead.
