Lead shot for a lead sled?

#1

Post by JasonH »

I recently ordered a lead sled to help with zeroing in some of my bigger guns (I've heard good things about them) but am a little confused as to where I should be looking to get some lead shot to fill the weigh-down bags with.

Anybody want to recommend somewhere to get 50 pounds or so? Preferably local so I don't have to pay to ship 50 pounds.

Thanks. I'm coming up with nothing so far.

You didn't say where you are. The Gander Mountain in Beaumont has 25# bags of shot in stock.

I'd think a large outdoors shop, like Bass Pro or Cabella's (and maybe Academy) would have it, since they have a decent selection of reloading supplies.

Sorry, I'm in Houston, and if it's as easy as just stopping by a Bass Pro (or whatever) then I feel like a dope for even having to ask.

I just couldn't find much online. Duh! I'll check there first.

Scuba shops have bagged lead shot as weights.

You probably don't see it much online because it's so expensive to ship.
Buy local, it's a commodity for a shotgun reloader.
