Who sells lead shot pellets to fill an equip.stand

When I built my horn cabinets I used playground sand from Home Depot because it is a lot cheaper and readily available. 250 lbs in each cabinet. Figure up what that would cost using lead.

I would suspect the more logical and less emotional reason AA stopped carrying lead shot is because the shipping, especially just a few months ago, was outrageous. I doubt they sold enough to justify keeping the inventory. Personally, I'd be more worried about those mercury vapor light bulbs folks are putting in their homes. Breaking one of those creates a toxic hazard cleanup. You can't even through them away, well not legally anyway.

Actually, the federal government imposed a max the Post Office could charge for shipping lead. I believe it is 8.00 per 50#. If I were filling big cabinets I would/do use free used wheel weights. Most places are happy to get rid of it rather than paying for it's disposal. Lead, having such high mass, takes a fraction of the space.

Chadnliz,

Its not gonna hurt anyone inside a stand.

Smoking cigs. never hurt anybody either.

Eating garbage foods (BK, McD, Red Meats in excess) never hurt anybody.

Go ahead and use lead in your own home but don't tell others it will not hurt anyone when used inside a stand.

Do peaople still eat garbage, smoke, drink in excess, do drugs etc...It's not going to hurt anyone....? Real deep thinking.

Finding a local gun or trap and skeet club might solve all your problems... if you have to get lead.

Bob at sound Anchor says other things will do just as well, be less of an issue obtaining and disposing of, while being both cheaper and safer. Cat litter or sugar sand do work. A few tubes of silicone & latex caulking being applied alternatively and left to set up before applying the next amount, could work too.

Does anyone know how to dispose of lead shot?
