Lead shot sources

[J Hartman]

Who does anyone use to get lead shot?

I get mine from my local Sportsman's Warehouse. Between rewards points and sales promotions, my out of pocket cost for the last 3 bags I bought was $35.46 per bag.

I think $40 is about average currently.. I saw some in Columbia a while back that was like $65 a bag!!

Where are you seeing it for $40 per bag?

There's a website I go to called trapshooters.com .. someone posted not long ago what they were paying, and several others commented from all across the US.. $40 was the average..
I have not bought any in 30 years as I make my own.. I usually load 3000 shells a year..

Is this not any good? It looks like most of their pricing includes shipping.

Where you finding shot for $40? Gamaliel the main distributer from the shot tower in Illinois can't get me below $53 a bag even if I buy a ton.

Wholesale on Eagle 25# bags runs from around $45-48 depending on the shot size. That's before shipping.

$57 to 60 is what I'm finding before shipping. Average shot price shipped I see is $70 a bag

I tried to upload a video to YouTube but can't get it done.. here's a screenshot of the pellets coming out of my dripper before they hit the coolant.
