Default Reloading buckshot supplys need info

Good morning all.
I'm looking for some #4 buckshot. Just the lead balls. Makes great, great slingshot ammo. I just can't seem to find any. Like 5lb boxs or more.
Why #4. Well I cut open a bunch of my shells and tested the different sizes and number 4 buck flew best with double bands. Was getting pass thoughts at roughly ten yards on gophers.
Worked on rabbit just as good. But 50 cal rounds worked even better. But that's easy to find at Cabela's. Gosh now I'm rambling. So yes need number 4 buck. Loose. Any place that sells it.. In Calgary be awesome but hey if I got get it shipped and pay shipping then so be it.
Thank you muchly for any help. Gents or lady's.

Default tricks to reloading buckshot

Recipes for different gauges and sizes of buckshot may require petals cut off wads and or "nesting "of shot by hand in the hull . GOOGLE nesting buckshot and then images to see what I mean. I recently did up a 200 rds of 20ga #3 buck for a buddy.

Get a mold and cast your own. Titan reloading on line has the molds cheap.
