2 bags of 25LB lead weight
Exactly what I was looking for. Fits perfectly into Caldwell zipper bags for use with Caldwell lead sled shooting bench. Best price on line plus free freight.

I would order again
Product is exactly as described. Used to fill my Caldwell portable bags for my Caldwell lead sled. Exactly the right amount to fill 4 small bags with a total weight of 50 lbs. Great customer service and quick shipping. A lot less expensive than purchasing 50 lbs. of #9 lead shot.

Great Quality
Very clean shot, looked new even though it said reclaimed. Free shipping advertised but then you get an email that says 10-15 days so I paid $12.00 extra for 2 day shipping, kind of disappointing

Best ballast I've found
I used this to level my 42' sailboat which had a 2 or three degree list to starboard. I had a space with only a couple inches of vertical clearance and these bags fit in perfectly. I put off doing this for years because lead was so expensive, but this stuff is way cheaper than clean lead and is perfect for this purpose.

Ballast Weight
It arrived exactly as described, shot from ranges that had been sifted out and bagged. This leaves pebbles the same size or smaller, silt, steel shot, etc. so be prepared for that if you're buying this to melt. In the end, I was able to recover about 85% by weight in lead by melting into ingots. Shot like this is usually about 5% antimony at most, and little if any other additives. I think in the future I may just go ahead and buy the already washed and graphited shot or ingots as the yield by weight will be higher enough to make up for the price difference. Prompt shipping and competitive price, will definitely order from here again. The only way to do better on lead price is to also do the recovery/scrapping work yourself.
