new to reloading, where to get #8 shot

[bigkyle72]

I just got a new MEC reloader and I was looking for a place to get reloading supplies. I am looking for #8 shot mostly. Thanks for the help!

They have #8 in stock, I have used them before, for other things. I have been happy, no complaints..

They have many other types, just look at the front page, and then follow the link to shot. I just pulled one.

Coon Creek Trap Club had some reclaimed shot a few weeks ago. Not polished or graphite, but cheap.
Sportsman's Warehouse in Roseville/Rocklin had #8 a couple of weeks ago.
recobstargetshop.com has both new 8 and reclaimed.
I have some but I'm hoarding mine

The point of re-graphiting is just for more consistent charge drops?

I think I saw some at cordova shooting range as well,

and better patterns. The graphite affects the flow of pellets in the barrel and especially through the choke. The wad does not stay with the shot all the way out the barrel.

The graphite also helps resist oxidation. Lead oxide is bad stuff.
