If there are individuals interested in Bismuth shot you can contact:
Phil Lund
Lund Specialty Products
lundsspecialtyproducts@hotmail.com
He lives in MN and will make 95/5 bismuth/tin shot for those who contact him. I don't think he is running a shot producing business but it seems more of a hobby he enjoys doing. Price is based on current metals market and lbs requested. In Dec/Jan he was asking $21/lb for less than 10lbs and $19/20 for 10+lbs. If a group of individuals order at the same time with at least 50lbs the cost is lower (not sure how much).
I ordered some shot (paid $19/lb) and it's pretty good looking. I don't know him other than the order I placed but he seems like a fair guy. His shot is a little large with the following 1oz averages: #6 = 228, #5 = 172, and #4 = 138.
Anyways, just thought I would pass along the information - if someone is looking for Bismuth he might be a good contact for you. Not exactly cheap but better priced than Nice Shot and about the same as ITX. |

Not to beat this topic to death but the group has exceeded the 100 lbs mark and extended the deadline to May 30th. The price is now $16/lb.
There are no min/max order requirements.
If you want to reload non-toxic shot this is the best deal (lowest price per lb) I've seen. Just click on the above post link for specific details or send your request to team4bismuth@yahoo.com. |

| I ordered 8 lbs of #5 with the big group order, paid right away, and received the shot a couple of weeks ago. It is at least as good as the commercially available bulk shot I bought a couple of years ago. I would definitely order from Phil again. I believe he is still working through that big order. |

| Back in January I ordered #6 and #5 shot from Phil. The shot patterns well and field performance was typical for Bismuth shot. I place a large order of #6, 5 and 4 shot with the big group order as $15/lb was hard to beat in terms of price for non-toxic shot. Phil has been very upfront about his shot in terms of quality, pricing. |
