[QUOTE="358norma, post: 2571952, member: 10178"] Be careful shooting BB's for a BB gun, they are harder than steel shot for a shotgun. Just depends on how much you like your gun I guess. The biggest you can get steel shot (at least commercially for reloading) is .220, which is size F . Check out Ballistics Products for supplies. Make sure you read up on STEEL shot reloading, it is a lot different animal than loading lead. The biggest difference is heavier/ tougher/ more expensive wads, and generally slower powders. Check out the "Status of Steel" manual by Ballistic Products, one of the better steel manuals out there. The last Bismuth I bought was around $140.00 for 7 pounds (Ouch!!) and is near impossible to find now. Most of the other non toxic stuff is at least this much or more ITX is $153.90 / 7#'s on BP's site. Steel is the best value right now. Here's the BP web-site. [url]http://www.ballisticproducts.com/default.asp[/url]. I've been playing with the stuff for a while (waterfowl addict). PM me if you have any questions I have to ask one question though, where did that lead come from that you are scattering? Just sayin, it came from the ground, just in a different spot. If I didn't have to shoot the crap at waterfowl, I wouldn't do it on my own. Back to your question, Bill's in Claremore has always handled a bunch of steel shot supplies. [/QUOTE]
