I just bought a 25# bag of lead magnum shot No.7 for $41.99 plus tax!! OUCH!!!

 

Seems kinda high…what say you??

 

 

Rye :huh:

$48/bag near here. Yup, it's kinda high, particularly when I remember complaining about $28 a bag just a few years ago.

 

But that's what it costs.

About 5 years ago it jumped from $15/$18 a bag to $25 - then quickly to $35. After that, whatever the market would bear. Good prices are under $40 these days.

For the price of market lead having recently fallen to a 4 year low of under 85 cents a pound, we're not seeing that yet in the retailers. Most around here are still getting $44 a bag and banking the bonus markup from the $1.10 a pound days.

 

Good luck, GJ

Yep its the sign of the times Pards. I was getting reclaimed shot from Badman bullets there for a while at 36 bucks a bag delivered. They no longer have any. I always used Rotometals as a gauge for lead shot prices. There shot new and reclaimed jump up there also. FYI, A bag of lead shot at our lacal Bass Pro Shops is 55 bucks!!

I have alway bought it from a guy in FL. he has alway been the cheapest shipped to my house in TX. Here is his email address trapshot28@gmail.com .Don't know what the price is today.I alway email and ask the price before I order.I bought 200# about 2 months ago.

Got a pal hauling me some from PA at $35.75, 1,200 miles to FL to save a couple of bucks? Crazy!

Posted

My LGS sells for about $42.50 a bag, though around November he got a really good deal and passed it onto customers for $38.50. If I had more cash I would have stocked up, but at least I got one bag at that price

If you have any trap and skeet clubs in your area and know any folks that are members, see if they can get you a few bags. Most clubs like that buy in bulk by the pallet. I use all reclaimed shot. I get it for $23-25 a bag.

Mr. Warner emailed me this morning and it has gone up some but it is $87.00 for 50# shipped from Fl. to Texas, trapshot28@gmail.com That is new shot.I order 7 1/2s but he has 7s .

Around EOT time I bought some reclaimed at a local trap club for $20 a bag. It's almost gone. Locally virgin shot is $43 a bag though you can pay more. I'm not complaining. I only need shot for black powder rounds. For smokeless powder shells I just buy promo rounds from a big box retailer. With the price of gasoline dropping by 50% over the last few months my overall cost of attending a CAS match is way down. Year 2015 looks like a promising year for out-of-town matches,

In the Houston area it's 28.50 for reclaimed, and 38.50 for new Star Shot. Reclaimed is plenty good for CAS use.

It's around $45 to $50 a 25 pound bag in these parts.

Okay thanks, seems to be about the same all over! Oh well, still cheaper than buying factory sg shells.

 

Rye :)

Reclaimed is plenty for CAS. New Magnum shot is waaaaay overkill ($$$$).

 

Even for trap (16yd line) and skeet, I use reclaim unless an ATA shoot, as reclaim generally has some greater than 7 1/2 which is max legal for trap.

Posted

Just bought 21 bags of new shot for 25.00 a bag. just could not turn it down.

Posted

Dang! That's quite expensive. I paid 17.95 a 25# new shot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that was a few years ago. I admit, I was hoarding. :P:D

Happy New Year to both of you too. Looking forward to swapping lies with you again this year. Maybe at Dam Site or Sage Brush this spring. The Mt State shoot has a new host this year if you haven't heard. It's the new club just north of Great Falls a few miles.
