I must be missing something. Ballistic Products is selling
Hevi-Shot for just a bit over $22/lb, in 7 pound lots, and
have been doing so since Hevi-Shot came out. This shot,
using #4 as an example, is less than a $1 cheaper, and
coming from Kalifornia, versus Minnesota, for me, would
probably wipe out most of that savings. They would be
more interesting, if it were under $20/lb...Or am I missing
something?
Squeeze
As yotenaler indicated, this isn't your normal "welding spatter" Hevishot. It's more like the stuff sold under the name "Tungsten Super Shot" which is very high density and round. It is also very expensive. But, because it is heavier than Hevishot (the TSS), users of it can drop down to No. 5 shot and get penetration at 70 yards equivalent to No. 2 Hevishot. That means, more pattern density, through the use of smaller shot.
This stuff is not necessarily a lot cheaper than regular HS, per pound, but higher in quality and density. It's definitely cheaper than it's nearest similar quality tungsten shot. It's not quite as good as TSS, of course.
This is a link to the TSS website, for those who might be interested.
