Bismuth Shot

But you might change your mind when you see the price of it. When it was available several years ago it was going for about $160 for 7 pounds. Since that time the price of bismuth metal has increased dramatically, and only recently started to fall.
The following are prices in US$/lb
Dec 2000 $3.85-$4.15
Nov 2002 $2.70-$3.10
Dec 2003 $2.60-$2.90
Jun 2004 $3.65-$4.00
Sep 2005 $4.20-$4.60
Sep 2006 $4.50-$4.75
Nov 2006 $6.00-$6.50
Dec 2006 $7.30-$7.80
Mar 2007 $9.25-$9.75
Apr 2007 $10.50-$11.00
Jun 2007 $18.00-$19.00
Nov 2007 $13.50-$15.00
Right now the price is around $10/lb.
So that 7 pounds of bismuth will cost $80 just for the metal content. I can see a retail price of around $200+ for 7 pounds of bismuth shot.

Bismuth shot has been out of production for almost two years now. Supplies were tight this time last year and it would take a small miracle to find some today.
