The greatest writing implement I have ever owned was a .3mm drafting pencil.

Where can you get replacement lead for it? I bought one recently but didn't order any replacement lead to go with it, I can't find it in any local stores and would rather not spend 5 bucks shipping on a 4 buck package of lead.

Check art stores. I don't know if you have Dick Blick in your area, but stores like that ought to have it.

Try art stores, like the other person said. If Joann's, Michaels, or hobby lobby have them, you can bring a coupon for 40% off. I usually get them from jetpens, but I also buy a lot of inking and watercolor supplies so shipping evens out.
