I first encountered Star shot around 1986. It seemed to have better consistency when it came to being round compared to domestic brands. It was selling for $8 for 25 pound bag making it a no brainer for skeet and trap singles.

If memory serves in 85-87 or so I was paying $10 a big for regular and $11 for magnum at Fairfax Rod & Gun . That was for REM or WIN brand , then later they had Lawrence . They had a pile of Lawrence Blue Bag #8’s at the local nuke plant back then and they sold it all to someone for $3 @ bag and that person sold it for $5 @ bag . That was supposed to be the cheapest grade of Lawrence and it broke skeet/trap targets well and I’d hate to admit the number of dove it killed .
