Default Lead shot price down

I just purchased some lead shot from Heritage Gun and Coin in Providence, RI for $40/bag which is considerably less than I paid a few months ago, they tell me lead prices are dropping. FYI this post

Hmm. Don't know where he's getting his information. World price for lead is up 20% in the last 6 weeks.

Don't have any idea how the world price equates to shot prices, but I just ordered thru our gun club, for delivery in about 4 weeks at $36 for magnum shot

I have no idea really but the cost of raw lead is only one factor, energy to mine, smelt and transport has come down a lot and that probably has more to do with the retail price of a bag of lead shot.

Price sure not down here in Alaska. I think it was $53/bag last I looked. They'll blame shipping, of course.

Paul - Are you buying thru your club? If so, are they buying from Dawson's? Our club has an order coming in in about a week. I think shot is $38
