$35 is what I understand reclaimed shot is going for now although, I don't know where any is readily available …
I once (sigh) had a steady supply of nicely processed reclaimed lead shot a decade ago - $1 / pound in old fruit juice jugs - and every time I lamented about not being able to buy - and transport - more away, the old geezer would always assure me, “Sonny, I ain’t never gonna run out of this stuff” and he’d point at old, abandoned rail cars and decrepit freight shipping containers next to several trap fields and the interiors of which he had stuffed with barrels after barrels (after more barrels) of the processed stuff … still, I wasn’t happy about the situation.
Sure enough, after years of driving up to restock once or twice a year, I got busy and let more than year go by; when I finally got him on the phone, he remembered me and said, “Oh golly, a group of some fellas made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and do you know they arranged to have tractor trailers drive up here from Richmond, VA to get it all - musta taken em over a month and I lost count of and don’t know how many trips those truckers made up here but, by golly, they got every last bit of that stuff…”. That was 2015 - 16 😖😖😖
