Source for Lead Shot

No, I'm not looking into getting into not reloading, I just need a couple of pounds of small (the smaller the better) lead shot for a project. Is there a good place locally to Lancaster that you guys know of?

I didn't think about this idea until this morning.

If all else fails check at a dive shop, they used to use little packs of lead shot that fit in pockets on dive vests to help fatties get to the bottom of the sea. Tree huggers might have them using steel nowdays though, I don't know.

I have a 1lb powder container full of #6 or#8 ya can have free. I can probably get most of it to fit in a small priority mail box. IM me an address.

You could go to the local Wall of China Mart store and buy a couple boxes of the cheapest, smallest lead shot, shotgun shells.
Cut the top off and drop the shot out.

Edit: Also you could pull the powder and use as fertilizer. High nitrogen content.

Call them to see if they stock it. I have some, what volume do you need? I’m just over the lanchester co line.
