I was at Cabela's in Hamburg, PA today and made a point to check the price of shot. Same-same, $49.95.

I bought two bags of #9 shot for $30.99 per bag at White Elephant in Spokane Valley last week. Lead has been coming back down on the spot market, but it will take a while to filter down to consumers.

Why would anyone pay Sportsmans Whorehouse prices?? I have to be pretty desperate to go in that waste of Spokane Valley Mall space!

I paid $34.00 this week at Biekirk's in East Rochester, NY. They are a big ammo distributor.

Thank you for your time and tip's: i just got back from a bad quail hunt some rain a lot of wind! one of the guy's work's as a border patrol agent we got on the subject of the price of shot.he said that it's not going to come down any time soon and may still go up. because they are making the new caddet's for boder patrol and some other form's of law-enforcment agency's are having to train with dummy round's. because they cant get enough ammo! the war caught the manufacture's off gaurd and that most of what is being produced is sent their. i checked out a web page of a local new's cast from a few months back and they did run about a 30 second spot on it and that that's why that copper and lead have sky-rocketed!
