Hello,

Where do I buy this stuff? I have been looking for awhile now and it seems like no one has any lead shot at all. I want lead shot in a BB 0.180 size for my airgun. I don't want the lead to be too soft so I am assuming chilled or magnum shot is harder and wouldn't deform as easily in my airgun.

Thanks

Really there are very few if any uses for lead shot in that size since we were mandated to use STEEL pellets for goose hunting, even still, very few folks ever loaded BB's back in the day.
Your best bet would be at a gun show where you might find an old box of Imperial shotshells in BB, buy them and cut away the crimp and dump out the pellets.
If you have no luck, Gamebore made a load called Buffalo which is a BB sized pellet, of which I have 10 boxes.
I'm off to Scotland later today and will be back in a week or so. FS

I've also been looking for lead shot pellets of varying sizes, NOT going to shoot it at animals though. What about shot sizes commonly used for turkey? Are those commonly available and cheap?

Not sure about BB but they say they have #2, so maybe.
Shipping will cost big time . I would like some #2’s if you find something
