Detailed Description

BPI Steel Shot (10 lb)

We demand that our steel shot is only the highest quality. The finest steel shot loads can only be made only of premium (dead soft) iron, which is then annealed to assure the softest possible steel pellet. Our steel pellets our polished to perfection; they are almost perfectly spherical with no pitting or hard edges. We apply a special rust inhibitor to insure maximum storage life.

Because our shot is produced to a higher standard it will flow more freely through reloaders and pattern performance is better. Better quality steel shot brings more energy to the target, resulting in greater overall lethality. All of our steel shot meets or exceeds all U.S. and European cartridge industry standards for non-toxicity, softness, and quality. Approved by the U.S.F.W.S. for non-toxic use.

LOAD DATA: The Status of Steel (14th ed.) is newly revised with almost 700 loads, from 10ga to .410. BPI's ballistic lab produces more high-performance steel shot data than anybody else. Period. If you need a special load, we've got it for you.

Volume Pricing and bulk packaging is available for commerical and industrial use. For industrial ballast material purposes you may be interested in our low-cost alternative Cast Steel Shot.

Good value, over hyped quality 10/20/2025
I’ve bought steel from BPI before their plated steel is very round and smooth high quality stuff. I ordered the non plated 5s since they were in stock and after loading about 30 shells and repacking the shot into tubs I can say it is absolutely not “nearly perfect spheres” as it’s advertised there’s like molding lines where the pellet halves meet and there is some slight size variation in the pellets that’s noticeable to the naked eye. It still performs well on the pattern board but it is not up to the level it’s marketed at. The plated option is definitely better but still not perfect as the Ts and 3s I have still arrived with flat spots but they still are better than these unplated 5s I will update after I’ve used them this duck season but so far unimpressed from what I’ve seen after the marketing.

That's not normal. Sounds like the end of a production run that might have required more polishing. Just call us if you are ever dissatisfied or if you'd like to make an exchange for plated shot. Glad to help!

I have used this shot on everything from quail to geese to turkeys. Great all around shot!
