Default #2 shot

Hello! I'm not sure who will see this? I need to make #2 lead shot round again, or find some new bags of 25lbs .I have a machine game at the carnival and cant find any #2 shot . I have been trying to roll them in a cement mixer and screening but far from perfect .. any advise would be greatly appreciated thank you

Can you use steel shot ? Larger lead shot is no longer used unless someone has a bag kicking around

I'm pretty sure I saw #4 shot at romar sports in stettler.
Might be worth a call to see if they have any #2.

Short of getting a custom mold made to reform the lead shot back to uniform round, your best bet is buying new.
Lawrence Brand shows #2 chilled lead shot on their website, but it doesn't appear in their drop down menu. Give them a call to see if they still manufacture it and if they have a distributor near you, or if they can ship directly to you.

FTR- RotoMetals website shows they only manufactures #4 to #9.

ETA- Check with Western Metals to see when they expect their next shipment of #2 lead shot. They are out of stock at this time.
