7 Steel Shots

The shot was purchased to fill my panel beater bag. Future purchases will be to fill my planishing hammer stand to reduce the noise. Well packaged. 10lbs Shot contained in heavy duty light-weight canvas bag.

Excellent product! Loads easily and shoots great in 2-3/4 and 3in shells. Very effective on geese and coyotes.
