Hey, just wondering if there's anyone selling or anywhere to buy cast lee 1oz slugs. I once upon a time bought some from Budget shooter supply but that source is long done. I'd like to pretend I'd have time or the desire to cast my own, but I really have neither at this point, and it doesn't look like it'll be better in the near future.

They wouldn't be for hunting or anything exciting, just plinking around having fun with, so I don't need or want to spend for premium stuff.

Or am I cursed to have to cast my own?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
 
"Fox Vegas" is slang for Fox Creek, AB. I don't have lead to spare, even for cash, but I'd be open to casting for another shooter. I have all of LEE's shotgun molds.
 
I found the 1oz to be less accurate than the smaller 7/8 oz one. Not sure why but every time I have worked up a load the 7/8 oz is more accurate. I live in Edmonton if that helps.

I have heard that many times before. It's the only reason I bought the 7/8oz mold. I haven't done any testing myself.

See you’re not terribly far away. Id prefer someone somewhat local that I could buy some off. I’d get into casting but the way my wife is hoping our future will go we would have to downsize a ton and I wouldn’t have the space.

I was hoping someone knew of a seller.

I’d buy lead for it happily. Can you just internet order it or is it a know a guy in person kind of thing?

I’m wildly uneducated on the lead casting world. Thanks.

Guys tell me you just have to walk up to a tire shop and ask but that has never gotten me any lead. Scrap dealers and internet buy and sells seem to work. I have essentially no lead soft enough for slugs, LEE recommends pure soft lead but I have done fine with reclaimed shot and 50/50 Clip on and sticky wheel weights. My lead supply right now is pretty sad...

What about airgun shooters? I know many have traps that collect pellets and they just toss it.. I almost got a small coffee can filled just from my traps and I'm going to start casting 7/8oz lead slugs.

Lead from airgun pellets is pretty much perfect for slugs. I don't know any serious airgun shooters myself but if I did I would be bugging them for their scrap!
