Yh BYB may be able to sell you some, alternatively the Europeon Mint (https://www.europeanmint.com/) also sell shot

Easy to get in the states on ebay, higher premium than  some.

Happy Pouring!

I can source and sell small quantities of shot or the European mint can help for orders over 10kg usually.

Silver shot is mostly sold by jewelry supply stores, not bullion dealers. It's called "casting grain" most of the time. See Rio Grande as one example:

https://www.riogrande.com/category/metals/silver/925-sterling/casting-grain

You can also get it from industrial suppliers like American Elements, or similar company in your country: https://www.americanelements.com/ag.html

It should be easy to find casting grain on eBay and Alibaba.

While I know Apmex can get a bit high with their premiums sometimes, their silver shot isn't terribly priced- https://www.apmex.com/search?q=silver+shot&f_bulliontype=other&page=1.

 

I think Provident Metals also sells in 10oz increments

At what purity do they sell shot?

Nothing magical about silver shot, of course, you can cast using a silver coin just as easily.  The silver has to be melted in any case.  I've cast small silver crosses and other things using silver coins.

Sterling and pure (fine) silver. See for example: http://www.ottofrei.com/Sterling-Silver-Casting-Grain-Fine-Silver-Casting-Grain-Argentium-Casting-Grain?custcol_of_xc_type=339

(You click different buttons there for different purities.)

I'll give that a go
