Carolina Reaper Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I dont know where you live but Cabela’s has it for $40 per 25#. I have not found many sources much cheaper - if you have to have it shipped to you that is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy harley Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Started making my own this year.Bought some Oasis shot drippers, made a pan out of aluminum,added a burner and some trial and error made about 125lbs of shot. It's not perfect but knocks down SASS targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone, SASS # 47578 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Howdy Preacher, I've ordered from ROTO Metals in the past but was buying in bulk. They do run specials from time to time. Check them out, www.rotometals.com Hasta Luego, Keystone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy them in quantities of 2 shipping is only $13.00 +1 this is where I last got some and they didn't charge me that much for shipping, may have been an error. http://www.gamaliel.com/shot/lawrence_brand_magnum_shot.asp? Just looked at the site and Eagle brand is still 37.95 as Sedalia Dave noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Here's a place advertising 50 lbs reclaimed for $65.00 shipped. https://redlandsshootingpark.com/reclaimed-lead-shot-for-sale-shipment/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meesterpaul Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Near Valley Forge I get reclaimed, graphited shot for a buck a pound. That's probably as cheap as it gets. Makes Goody's Redlands reference a nice deal. btw; I could use a lot of lead if anybody in the five state area has a lot available. I have 60 trays of Letterpress Foundry type lead and about a ton of linotype. I need to soften both of them up and could probably use 3 to 5000 pounds of lead to do it.

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you have a trap range near you stop and see if they have reclaimed shot. I just got 2 bags that are over 25# each for $20 a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Be sure you take a hard look at any reclaimed shot your buy. It has been known to contain rocks and other foreign matter that is harmful to shotgun barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meesterpaul Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The guy near me processes his nicely. He runs it through an auger type rig with different sized screens. He then fills up 2L bottles (which hold about 26lb) and being translucent you can see what's in there. If I were to get reclaimed shot at a trap range I'd put a couple tablespoons of graphite in a 25 lb batch. I forget whether he said 2 or 4 is what he was putting in. I had some plain reclaimed that I had let sit for a long time and it oxidized and didn't meter well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
