This outfit sells in all forms ...is fun to peruse the site .
Very expensive I am sure .. but interesting to look at all the forms of lead they put on the market and drool a little bit at the massive counter weights and bricks they sell .
Came across the link off a website here in the Carson City area for West Coast Shot , just outside of Carson in Mound House .... they used to make shot , maybe they still do as their gravity Tower and buildings are still there..
Maybe they were bought out by this outfit .... located in Birmingham, Alabama .

looking closer , they still make the shot , ... sure wouldn't mind having a pallet of that "pig" lead in the back yard ....:D

Roughly $4/pound of magnum shot delivered at the smallest quantity of 2-25# bags. Not cheap,
But it's lead.

Mayco shipped one ton of 92-6-2 to my door for $1.81/lb.

Hardly worth the bother of finding, smelting and alloying - at least for me. I now have a lifetime supply.

How long ago did you get that? I was quoted over $2.20 a pound for 92-6-2 for one ton delivered from Mayco. I'm on West Coast and that might be the reason.

Local GS had it a few weeks ago for $37/ 25 lb bag and $34 for non-magnum 7.5,8,8.5,9's
