Can you purchase No4 shot from anywhere?

Post by 93x64mm » 25 Jun 2025, 8:47 pm

Been trying to get No4 shot, Anyone know where you can get some from without buying 100+kg of the stuff?
And no I'm not into making my own, that would be the very last resort if unable to do!
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Horsley Park gun shop and Safari Arms both in Sydney are gun shops that cater to shotgun shooters and both will likely have stocks.
Postage will probably cost more than the shot.

It's my understanding this was the last manufacturers in AU.
Shut up shop about 12 months ago.

How much do you need?
100kg doesn't go very far if you're shooting regularly, that's less than 3500 1oz loads. I picked up 145kg of mixed shot from a deceased estate a couple years ago, and 90kg a few years before that, so keep an eye on FB Marketplace and Ebay, as well as the various online firearms sales sites.

On this topic, how about no. 12 shot?
Birds shot, the stuff that's in 22 ratshot and 38 or 44 pistol shot cartridges.

If I can get some, I'm going to have to try and work out how to get 7-1/2 shot out of loaded clay cartridges and substitute out for 12.
