[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2571293, member: 7157"] More and more, I'm getting into shotguns for plinking - while it's still fun to watch a steel silhouette at 500 yards fall over with a round from my M1 Garand, I find it's more gratifying to shoot up plastic QT cups with a shotgun at 25 yards. Not to mention it's easier to do the latter as my eyes get older! However - and please, no dismissive comments about tree-huggers - I'm just not comfortable scattering hundreds of toxic lead pellets with each pull of the shotgun trigger, so I'm looking to get into reloading with non-toxic shot. I've been doing research on the hows of shot shell reloading, so I think I'm covered there. My question is, where in the Tulsa area have you folks been finding the best deals on steel and other non-toxic shot, especially in the larger sizes like 00 to #4 buckshot? Or is it cheaper to order online even with the shipping costs? I realize it's going to be significantly more expensive than reloading with lead shot, but I'm OK with that especially if I can tailor my loads and use shot sizes in steel that might be difficult or impossible to find in factory loads.
