To provide a fired pencil lead with smaller dispersion of bending strength and density since a plasticizer, which is used in a fired pencil lead core and makes the structure of the fired core uneven by its compatibility and migration with a synthetic resin, is a cause of dispersion of bending strength and density.

In the fired pencil lead core using at least graphite and a chlorine-containing resin as compounding materials, a copolymer comprising carbon monoxide and ethylene is used as a compounding material.
