King "METALS" at kingmetals.com are good to deal with. I use them. The work is true.

Okay there are several Fox industries...I am pretty sure which is the right one, but how about providing a link so we can be sure.

Gary, what is the diameter of the steel balls you are buying?

I am not sure I can translate what you typed

1.50 per ,w/ shipping 2 per

I think that means they are $1.50 each.  That is easy.  What does "w/shipping 2 per"  mean?

http://www.foxindustries.com/

this is the one i use .  8)

42.8mm is the dia. for golfballs . Ken is the guy i talked to .. he's happy to sell as cannonballs , he's a cannon lover .

the price is $1.50 ea. for 50 , with shipping to me in longmont colo. they charge @30bucks so i just called it 2 dollars per ball .

there are mant differant sizes . the one little thing to remember is that if you ask for a ball in inches ,they may or may not have it . BUT have some mm sizes that will work handy because they list the inches and the mm balls seperatly and might have what you need in the mm sized balls .

42.8mm for gb guns

hope that helps gary

i dont think theyd mind being a sponser ....if they got some orders ........i ran it by them once ......

RocklockI,

 Won't they ship them in a flat rate box? That would save you a lot on shipping. That's how they ship my lead balls from Brad & Son. But, you will not be the mailman friend....  :D

 You might be right. But, I've had one shipment of 50# and one of 68# make it with no problem. Maybe I was just lucky. The bucket is by far a better way to ship them. I just thought I would toss out the flat rate idea.
