Lead free Shotgun shot

[BIGCIM]

I'm planning on loading some 3" 12 gauge shells for coyote hunting due to leadfree coyote rounds being more difficult to find on the shelf.

I live in Riverside and was wondering where everyone was buying their shot from.

I'm interested in HW13 BB or TSS #2's. I need to purchase a pound of either one preferably the TSS.

Is it cheaper to buy it locally or order it?

Thanks in advance.

I know this may sound funny....But could ball bearings be used?

Possibly. I'd rather take the time with the TSS. Unless someone I know still has a box of those discontinued federal coyote rounds they want to part with.

Ball bearings are normally made from 440 stainless steel... Just for info.

What are the shot size available in TSS? Would bismuth be a second bet. Better than steel...

Steel........................7.3
HeviSteel..................9.2(g/cc)
Bismuth.......................9.8
Hevi X tungsten.............9.8
Lead...........................11.3
H13.................... .13
Federal Heavyweight....15
TSS..........................18

The benefit of the TSS would I could use #4's or 2's and have a better proforming shell under 80yards than dead coyote but with a higher pellet count.

TSS comes in most standard sizes.

If you find a place locally, please post it up! Im in Temecula. Ive just got done playing with bismuth for a turkey load that looks good. I also want to start playing with heavier coyote loads.

I haven't been at this long and been ordering online.
