All cold rolled steel is aluminum killed these days. Do you want to find DRAWING QUALITY steel? (DQ, or sometimes AKDQ) That is what Ron Covel was using for years and mistakenly referred to it as AK steel. He's corrected his language in his new seminars and articles.

Try Central Steel.
They list both

ASTM A 1008 CS Type B
Commercial Steel Oiled

and

ASTM A 1008 DS Type B
Drawing Steel Aluminum Killed
Non-Age Hardening, Oiled Intended for difficult drawing, spinning and forming operations.

They might have a dealer in your area.
