Wonder where it comes from. May contain small pebbles and foreign material.

I can hear them shooting in Friendship from my property sometimes.

I shot a bunch of reclaimed shot in the mid 1990's. It works well for 16 yd trap and maybe out to the 20 yd line, and works good for skeep practice (if you practice with tighter chokes than what you'd use at a tournament). But at that price? No way would I buy it. If it was half that price or a little bit more, then yes. I can buy brand new 5% antimony lead shot at my local range for $40/bag.
Back then reclaimed shot was $6-$8/bag where new shot was $12.50/bag.

I wish it still WAS that price!!! I remember one of my buddies and I driving (when gas prices were not also a concern) to Fort Wayne and buying shot at 5 bucks a bag..new. But....on topic. Shipped, that is pretty good price wise. If anyone is within driving distance of Bourbon, IN, Back Forty Sporting Clays caries 7 1/2, and 8 and sometimes 9 shot at 40 bucks a bag, not reclaimed stuff. Still high to me but dang gas prices make it worse if you have to drive far. Ordering online would still be less costly. They have a nice range too so maybe if it's a bit far (I realize the majority here live in the southern part of the state, or so it seems to me?) maybe a car pool some weekend with a few others would be more practical to go shoot and buy shot too. I don't know if they can get the heavier shot sizes but do need to check later this fall and find out when they are getting shot in and if they can get some 6s and/or 5s. SOMETIMES one can order what size they want and if buying a lot, it would be best if checking with them in advance to make sure they have it. They sell a LOT of shot and I've seen supplies run a bit low but not often. They carry most of the popular shotgun powders/primers/wads and a few rifle powders too and NORMALLY have rifle primers in stock and I've yet to see anyone match their prices on any of it, online or off. www.backfortysportingclays.com/Just info.

Shotgun powder is now in short supply, and they don't know when it will be available. Especially Green Dot. Maybe next year.........
They can get different sized shot if it's available - they usually get supplies in once or twice a month.
I'm there at least once a month to shoot, and usually more than that as I take care of their pond for them. They are open Thurs by appointment, Fri-Sat 8-5 Sundays they don't start shooting 'till noon (worked out a deal with the local church so they don't disrupt services).
