Is there a way for you to get "chilled" lead shot, Julien? That has less toxicity in it than the magnum variety.

Anyway, good luck on getting your lead. Size 8 1/2 is a good size.

Yeah, 8 1/2 is a good size, and 25 POUNDS! Hahaha you'll be hard pressed to run out any time soon. Lead's pretty cool. Tungsten's my favorite, anybody know a good place for Tungsten?

Sorry, I meant to say anyone know where I can buy 5 pounds of tungsten and not get nickel and dimed 2.50 cents all the way up for it? It's 200 bucks for that much through Daryl. I'd like to pay closer to 100 for a 5 lb bag, or even less if possible.

Edit: I found a few sites now, this one seems to be pretty good, but maybe you have to call to order. They have great size options, which is cool:

If you can find a gun shop that sells shot or ammunition shells in bulk, go there. If you're not picky with lead, go with that, otherwise, ask for steel.

Tungsten is a little hard to come by regionally, I believe. It's only found in a few select gun shops or manufacturing depots. Do the research around your region through the internet.

Not sure if people have seen this but you can get copper coated lead shot. I found it at precisionreloading.com it is a little bit more expensive than the regular lead shot ($36/10lb) but is non-toxic.
