Nowhere that I know of. You can get hevishot and bismuth though. Be ready to pay the big $$$$$$$$$

Almost 100% positive there is no such thing... they used to make bismuth, but might have some other metals now like hevi shot...

I think i got a box or two at my house still. The only brand that makes it is Remington Nitro Steel. Gonna be about 25 dollars a box and found them at bass pro i believe.

Another thing is, don't shoot steel out of a fixed full 16ga (which many of them are)

Why?
My dad has an old Ithaca 16 with a mod barrel that grew up shooting lead, and I shot steel out of it for a few hunts

Depends where youre' located G&H in gueydan has them. Stopped two weeks ago and they had few loose boxes and cases

A modified choke is ok. Anything tighter is not. The barrels aren't strong enough to constrict a load of steel shot that tightly. When those guns were made, steel shot didn't exist.

u no real answer for this

What kind of gun?
Bismuth is no more. You can get nice shot, but it they don't make it any larger than 5 shot and it is special order from the manufacturer...

This is all very true...

From an old post of mine, should help:
I think bismuth is out of buisness, heavy shot might be your only option in no tox, besides steel. There might be a few other shells out there but not many...
RST Shotgun Shells has a number of shells including some no-tox. They make a great shell, but I don't know if anything they have will cycle the A5.
Polywad has shells that will not cycle a auto
Fiocchi has some shells that will cycle, but not in no tox
16ga.com shell forum, if you reload, you can make your own no-tox.
B&P USA makes very good shells
Federal Shells has a steel shot
Able Ammo has a number of makers including Heavy Shot in 16 that should cycle the gun...

Picked up 2 boxes at cabelas about 4 years ago. I think I've seen them since. They were about 28 a box for federals.

Its to bad that the 16 gauge has fallen from popularity. It really is a nice gauge suited for many types of hunting. If lead shot was still legal I have an older Ithaca 37 that would be the only firearm I carried on wingshooting ventures.

it would be a hell of a drive from covington, but I am sure Simmons in Bastrop has them...cool store, too...
