Dave's in Lynden, has a whole slinky section with a variety of shot, I've just used crimped split shot in the past

Post by: rahmanjoy on March 15, 2010, 10:02:01 PM: Where to find the Buckshot #4 ? if someone refer any particular shop it will be a great help.
I prefer Buckshot #0 or #1. (Big likely 9/10 pcs to make 1 oz)
Do I need any arm license to buy them? Please help.
Thanks.

Budget reloading in Surrey should have what your looking for
