  With lead shot, shipping is the killer!
  
  I buy locally, but I'm in the DFW area. Pay about $40/ 25 lbs.

  http://www.wideners.com/ Scroll down about 1/4 of the page. Not in stock yet, but they say it should be before long. They are a good place to deal with. Email them as they are not answering their phones right now because they are so far behind on shipping.

  Do you have a trap/skeet club in your area? You might be able to get in on one of their orders if they do bulk orders for their members.

  If you live anywhere near a USMC base, go to the skeet range. It is open to the public after you get on base and buy it there. I get mine for $27.00 a 25#bag no shipping.

  I suspect one or two tons is kind of in between wholesale and retail. I would call the manufacturer and see if I could get a pallet delivered by truck. Friends and I went in together and bought about 700 lbs of 20:1 alloy to cast .45-70 bullets with.

  join your local trap/skeet club. Ours will piggyback ourders for members at no cost and shipping is included.
  
  They buy shot by the pallet and if you want #4 or #00 they get it for the same price as #8.
  
  Plus ours has a trading Post where folks get rid of supplies they no longer need. I've found some sweet deals there.
