NEW SHOT - HW 18 - Size # 7.5

Post by kipandgus »

Just arrived at Bucks Run Sports Supply !!

Heavy Weight 18 from Reloading Specialties. Shot size available is 7.5.
Non toxic, tungsten based shot with an 18 density will get the job done.

One HW 18, 7.5, weighs same as one # 4 steel.

You can get more info by calling 507-356-2195.

Do they have any data to go with the shot?

I would not expect data. From what they told Tommy(Shooter) the price is same as Hal. Hal has more sizes, and load data.

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that

Doesn't surprise me. There's getting to be quite a few sellers of 18g shot these days. It's a whole lot cheaper than one would think as well.

BR would do well if they'd get some 9s in for the turkey hunters. It doesn't cost anymore than the 7.5s.

9s cost more to produce than 7.5s or any larger shot from every factory I've ever inquired about it with.

Not for me Hal, but I don't doubt you've gotten higher cost on 9s. The companies I've talked to only got cheaper at over 3mm, some even 4. The funny thing is that 15g and 13g shot is only about $1/lb cheaper from the prices I've gotten, so it's a no brainer going with 18.
