Where to find #4 Buckshot?

[Firestick]

It seems like the end of time. I just searched with every manufacturer and large reloading place I could find and nobody has any #4 buckshot for reloading. So I thought I would ask the O.D.T family if anyone knew of a place that had any. It's my last component to start reloading. I found some #3 and thought about replacing but I have a certain recipe that calls for the #4 and for some reason folks don't use the #3 as much. Any suggestions or Ideas welcome. Since the search for the #4 has been a bust I've decide to try the #3 buckshot,the only problem is the recipe so this is what I have. Win AA 2 3/4 hulls,Win 209 primers, Alliant red dot powder,WAA12F114 wads and now # 3 buckshot. If anyone knows a publication or load data info for this mix let me know. In the mean time I will look at reload manual or download one on kindle.

There is a place in Winterville that has a lot of reloading supplies. Not sure about #4 but would be worth a call to them. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the business. I will get the name and # and PM you prob around 9am.

I think you're talking about The Sporting Arms in Winterville? 706-742-7971

Just called them and they're out like everybody else but it was worth a shot. He said it's been like this for 3 months now and it's running 48.00 dollars for a 25lb bag. Man I miss 70's prices.

Find some lead and roll your own.

I may have to if I can't find some or the manufacturer don't fire up production.It looks like Lee Precision is out of stock of the mold but that has crossed my mind. Thanks for the suggestion

I have been looking for you but as close as I have come to 4's was 5's at Bass Pro and they only had one bag. I would get use to the $2.00 per pound price. Lead shot was @ that price way before the recent panic hit. DB

Thanks for the help dovebuster, I found a 25lb bag of #3 buck but that was as close as I got. Even Lawrence is out,heck I've been going through my old reloading book looking up companys that specialize in shot.
