I can get you any size, 25lbs for 24.99 at a local pawnshop.

Im assuming the one that says nickle plated lead's the right one?
Whats chilled/magnum lead?

I'd say the lead from my local pawn shop is cheapest....

If you like me to buy you a bag.... Just pm out the details, only thing that'd be a hassle is shipping..but.. oh well

edit- yeah.... mine's cheaper, 25 for 25 in leau of 30 for...11

we buy our lead at bass pro shops and its $25. we get chilled lead.. because plated shot always flakes.

I'd recommend not putting something know to be toxic in your footbag in the first place.

Go for tungsten.

Peace.

its only toxic if you ingest it or totally bathe in it

That's a great idea, but not everyone can afford it mate.

I could get tungsten but I'd rather not get it.
Id rather have lead. Tungsen makes the bag super heavy and empty and I prefer my bags to be fuller(30-50%) and less heavy(40-55grams).
I dont plan on bathing with 25 pounds of lead either, but I could if it was tungsten.

25 lbs of lead where I live is 45 dollars at Bass Pro Shopsss.

Once the plating on Tungsten flakes off, all this black stuff seeps out during wash (much more than lead, in my observation). I'm sure it's non-toxic, but it's pretty nasty.

Its simple. Look up the nearest gun shop in your area, call them up and ask if they have lead shot of that size, then go there and buy it. I pay $20 for 25 lbs of lead.
