Yes in Houston, Texas. 64 a bag 7 1/2, 8,9.
actually went back to gun range yesterday and inquired about the price. It rang up at 59.99, but the sign was at 64. I was told it was their error, so its 59.99 here

52.00 here. Last I bought was 35.00 bag. I said when that is depleted I will either go back to making my own with what lead I have left or be done shooting clays, trap, or skeet. I have enough factory for the rest of my time obove ground. The manufactures are quickly pricing theirselves out of the sport. The products they make overseas is only because of cheap labor on top of inflated prices arriving in the states.
If products are made in the good Ole USA I'll buy. But will not buy if I believe the prices are purposely inflated. Just kinda boycotting my own thing. Didn't want to turn this into a economic political thing but the question was asked. Hammer.

None in the state that I’ve been able to find. I plan way ahead and buy from my old hometown out-of-state shop whenever I travel back there. Have been shooting the “white bag” shot for the last year because it’s been 10-15% cheaper. No complaints with it. Last I got was $44/bag. BP did have some of this in 7.5

I’ve been getting mine locally with no real shortages, price for Lawrence magnum chilled has been $47 so right at $50 with tax, has been available in everything from 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, and 9 shot.

Up about $2 over the past 3 years, used to be right at $45, mostly in the past year. But no shortages here in the upper Midwest.

Thanks for sharing your comments. I am almost down to my last bag, and it is the reclaimed stuff--which works quite well on clays.

Best Holiday Wishes,

I tried Recob, and had to place shot on my wish list. Hope to find a source of a few bags of shot in the next couple months.

Found and ordered lead shot from Ballistic Products. Indicated it was in stock. Time will tell. 22 pound bags vs. 25 pound for some reason? Shipping is a killer--but still cheaper than shooting factory.

I ordered some West Coast from Precision Reloading, 5's, 6's & 7's for hunting season. Luckily I live where Spee-Dee Delivery operates, that saved a lot of money.

Scheels in Overland Park, Ks has had lead shot available on my previous three visits. I've picked up a couple bags each time for $39 to $49 depending on size. High hardness, Lawrence & Eagle brands. Sizes 5, 6, 7.5 had the higher prices. 8 & 9 were the cheap ones.

I stopped at Scheels down in town tonight, all they had were a couple bags of Eagle. Not interested in Eagle it is too soft. Haven't seen Lawrence there since February earlier this year when I got 10 bags.



Back around Sept. Scheels in Eau Claire Wi. got some Lawrence in stock and had them reserve me 10 bags. Wasn't cheap but worth it, to me. Last time I was there and bought shot it was $9.99 a bag. For Lawrence. Yeah it had been awhile since I had been in that Scheels LOL.

They got some more in stock now.

Every 2 weeks I buy 2 bags for the last couple of months. Shipping is $16 for 2 bags, doesn't show up in the cart like that but after you check out and before they ship they will refund the difference to your payment method.

Nov. 30th it was $52.99 a bag. Tonight it was $54.99 a bag. Couple of months ago it was in the low $40 a bag. Don't think shot is going to get any cheaper any time soon. But REALLY hope that I am wrong. I'd just be happy with the traditional reloading sales to happen this Spring with actual inventory. Didn't happen this year at any store, club or dealer for the first time that I can ever remember.
