I use reloading lead.  There should be a few shooter supply shops in the area.  Number 4 buckshot is about the largest I go.

Where to find the Buckshot #4 ? if someone refer any particular shop it will be a great help.
I prefer Buckshot #0 or #1. (Big likely 9/10 pcs to make 1 oz)
Do I need any arm license to buy them? Please help.
Thanks.

I'm the king of bringing back old threads it seems. Digital Recycle :)

But i'm making some slinkies and my go-to supply of steel shots is the usa...and i cannot get there with the closed border...

can someone suggest the least expensive solution for buying bbs/lead shot whatever here in the lower mainland....

thx

I just use pencil lead trim to length if you're into using lead shot look on gunnutz website and Go to reloading supplies
Budget reloading in Surrey should have what your looking for
