WTB shot

[Preacher B. Quick, SASS 59860]

Looking for a good source of reasonably priced 7.5 -8 size shot for reloading.  Any suggestions?

Another candidate here !

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.

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

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

Gamaliel Shooting Supply has shot for 37.95 for a 25# bag. If you buy them in quantities of 2 shipping is only $13.00

re: Rotometals reclaimed shot, they charge extra for washing and graphite.

+1      this is where I last got some and they didn't charge me that much for shipping, may have been an error.

Just looked at the site and Eagle brand is still 37.95 as Sedalia Dave noted.

Here's a place advertising 50 lbs reclaimed for $65.00 shipped.

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.

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.

[Sedalia Dave]

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.

[meesterpaul]

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.

I ship 65 pounds of new 7.5, tumbled and graphited for 110.00. Delivered to your door.PM for more info.

If Cabela's wasn't offering free shipping over $50 this week(2 25 lb bags 84.42 delivered) code freeship, $110 for 65 lbs is a great deal. 

[SHOOTIN FOX]

It rounds out to 42 a bag. No tax.

[Sedalia Dave]

I have bought shot from Shooting Fox.  Good stuff and works well for CAS. Absolutely no complaints.

Hey Goody,

 

Thanks for the tip about Redlands Shooting Park. Ordered some today. Real nice lady answered the phone. "Redlands Shooting Park, business is booming." I knew I had the right place.
