Balls on Ebay
« on: December 17, 2009, 05:44:46 PM »
I found this on Ebay tonight.  Might be useful for someone.  Looks like he has 1 1/4 inch steel balls  @ $96.00 shipped for a quantity of 62.

 He has other sizes as well.

Edited to say that I know shooting steel balls is not a good idea for several reasons.

If for whatever reason one gets stuck inside the bore it may be more difficult to remove than something soft like lead.  Also, I would think it wound tend to bounce more when hitting certain surfaces.


I just noticed the link is gone.  I guess I did a no-no.

 I agree on the safety aspect.

 I don't think we're allowed to link to current auctions here, so that's probably why it was removed.
