Frequently asked questions

How much shot is in a bag?

Each bag holds one pound (454 g) of shot in the diameter you choose.

How many pieces of shot come in a pound?

It depends on the diameter. At 17.6 g/cm³, a single 1 mm shot weighs about 9 milligrams, so a pound holds roughly 49,000 pieces. A 4 mm shot weighs about 0.6 g, so a pound holds about 770 pieces.

What is the shot made of?

Tungsten heavy alloy with a nickel-iron binder, at a density of 17.6 g/cm³ — denser than lead, without lead's toxicity.

Is tungsten shot safe to handle?

Yes. Tungsten is not radioactive and is not toxic in solid form, so the shot can be handled with bare hands.

What is tungsten shot used for?

Density. At 17.6 g/cm³ it packs the most weight into the least space, which makes it a standard choice for ballast and counterweight work where lead or steel would take up too much room.
