I just bought 10 bags.

When I got it home I took some of it and some Lawrence brand and put it on the bench side by side and couldn't tell the difference between the two.

Don't know about the hardness. But why worry about something that will still break targets regardless.

That sounds good. i had heard that they ran small but is good news if looks the same, i not that worried about hardness of the shot.

I did like the poster above. Poured out some Lawrence and Spartan #8 shot on a paper plate, couldn't tell the difference. I rolled the two together and could not tell one from the other.

Haven't shot any yet, and haven't opened any 7 1/2s to check them. But the 8s looked fine.

Hoping Neil or another poster will perform their crush test and see how hard it is-it says Magnum, but who knows?

What was the price per bag?

@ Slayer: Keep Dreamin'.
What's Michigan State's record this year? What was it last year?
Yeah. That's what I thought>

Sorry. It was a shameless joke at your expense.
It was just too good to pass up the opportunity.
(I'm not a fan of OSU or any college athletic program because I think it detracts from education. Furthermore, the fist fight against U of M last week exemplifies the failure of a university education to produce responsible adults)

Now. Where is this shot and how much is it????????

You could get a clue of hardness by weighing equal volumns of Lawrence magnum and Spartan in the same size shot and comparing. My guess is the lawrence will be lighter indicating more antimony. Ron

I didn't see any price difference at Wheatfield. And the people on here that tested some surly paid for it. Where's the price. Bill

At a turkey shoot I went to last Saturday a guy was selling it for 40$ off the tailgate.

 

[seymore/82]

Hello! Is this a test. Where is this shot located at. I love it when people make comments on here about maybe a shoot that is going to take place but No location, other than the gun club name and we are suppose to know what part of the country its located in. Same as this shot location. WHERE? Thank You. Now back to reading Doc Longshots comments. LOL

The Price we are paying is $40.00 per bag in North Dakota, not exactly cheap so would like to know how it stands to the name brands? I hope Neal does a crush test but i am going to weigh some this weekend since it will very cold and this will keep me in the house!

OK this is what i came up with this weekend.
West coast shot 40 pellets weight 43.5,42.4gr's
Spartan shot 40 pellets weight 39.0gr's 37 gr's
Then i filled a very small container of west coast for a weight of 310gr's and 300gr's
Spartan with same container was 329gr's and 314.5gr's.
ok now i miked pellets west coast 0.089,0.091,0.089,0.095,0.0935,0.090.
for an average of 0.0913. (0.09 is 8 shot).
Spartan was 0.086,0.089,0.0865,0.0855,0.087,0.086,0.0875,0.088,0.088,0.088,0.087 for an average of 0.0871.
i did not due crush test but feel that spartan shot is softer and the run small where as the west coat shot ran on the big side. to me the spartan shot is 8 1/4 shot?

Your numbers are very close to what I have for Starshot magnum out of Argentina. We haven't had any problems with it to the best of my knowledge. Does the Spartan have a plastic bag inside like the Starshot? Ron

 

[straightshooter1]

Yes it does, Ron.

[funclays]

It is imported from EU ????

Round Rock is just North of Austin. I am surprised we don't have it being pushed here in San Antonio. Anyone interested should be able to call them. Thanks for the picture of the bag. Ron

Added: A reason we don't see it could be our most popular source of reloading supplies is Vernon & Jennifer Winkelmann's Bexar County Shooting. They usually have Lawrence at a competitive price. They are next to Ruck out at National as well as at their ranges East of town. All good folks.
