Southpaw Gringo, SASS # 74217 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Any pards out there know a good place to buy "cheap" reclaimed shot online. Doing a search I found Badman Bullets out of Oregon selling reclaimed shot for 34 bucks a bag and they will ship two bags to my door for 11.50. I just wanted to throw this out there to see if there were any better deals out there. Thanks in advance... http://www.badmanbullets.com/OnlineStore/reclaimed-lead-shot-for-sale-size-7.5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Jim #14501 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 RotoMetals.com They are in the bay area. I have bought lead from them a couple of years ago.TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 J & S Wholesale in Jackson, CA (http://www.jswholesaleinc.com/) sells reclaimed shot for ~$29 a bag in quantity. You can save $1 a bag by driving there for pickup. I would consider this a option if you could split the order with others. You don't live too far from this location.

I believe that price is for 20# bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I believe that price is for 20# bags. A old trick some of the horse feed companys try. Some went to a 40# bag instead of the normal 50# Kept the same price when the others kept the bags at 50# but went up a little. A lot of them don't catch on. Keep the price the same or lower. Just make the bags a little smaller and hope they don't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 On-line is normally an expensive way to buy reclaimed shot. Much better to go to your local shotgun club (trap, skeet, clays) and, if they have reclaimed shot that they stock for their members (or even the public), consider joining the club just so you can get a good deal on the shot (and on new shells, if you need them). Lead = HEAVY. HEAVY = expensive shipping. Buying shot online in consumer quantities (a couple of bags at a time) = a financial disaster. The shipping can easily be one-third to half the cost of the purchase. Even when it is called "FREE SHIPPING!" Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Gringo, SASS # 74217 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I believe that price is for 20# bags. Strange but as I checked there web site, it looks like they got both 20 and 25 lb bags. 30 bag min on the 25 pounders though. I think I will call to clarify before I take a road trip up there. Got to also weigh in the price of gas and compair to shipping.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come On Christmas Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Get 50 lbs from Roto Metals. Lots of graphite. I think it is better than store bought. The 2 bag or 50 lb. price is delivered or "freight free" Sometimes they have coupons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The Badman Bullets price actually works out to be just shy of $5 a bag cheaper even including the shipping. And Shell-e and Drifter are CAS shooters. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Shell-e and Drifter are CAS shooters. Just sayin'... Just received 50# from Badman. Fast shipping, clean shot. $10 for gas & sales tax for me to buy locally. This was cheaper and easier for me. I live in Tx, so no affiliation with this outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glade to hear it was clean because some of the reclaimed shot I seen before looks like it came out of the garden..."slight exaggeration"...
