How much is a 25 pound bag of #9 lead shot going for these days?

edit = I did try to find some on the web but apparently few places sell it online. Midway had bismuth and steel shot but only small qty's of lead.

    What if there were no hypothetical questions?

    ~$15-16 before tax. Course I get it from the gun club for less than market price[:D]

    closer to $20.00 a bag down here in florida, and a year ago when I lived in Ca. it was also around $20.00-$22.00 a bag.

    the price of shot has really jumped up in the last few years.

    I pay $17.00 a bag at the trap club, It comes out of Argentina. Every Co. that makes it here in the USA wants $20.00, cheaper to buy it from Argentina and pay shipping than to buy it here. (Whats wrong with this picture?) [:0]

    Not to hijack the thread, but my take on chuck's comment is that US makers have to take more care to avoid employee lead exposure / environmental harm. Maybe I'd feel differently if I used hundreds of pounds of shot a year, but an 18% premium when we're talking a known toxic substance doesn't sound like a terribly bad thing. This isn't a criticism, merely my $0.02 observation.
