Hi fellow slingers,
I have been using various typès and weight of ammo. Granite rouned beach pebbles 85g to about 150g Lead egg bullets 56g and 84g Hand made and moulded clay ovoids 90g, 110g and 125g.
Love them all, but!
I have discovered forged solid mild steel balls. Check out your local wroughtiron components suppliers.
I bought x50 30mm dia 111g/4oz (36p each before vat and shipping) for £26 delivered. Will be painting them hi viz yellow, the suface is quite rough and should take paint well.
25mm dia weigh about 70g and 35mm dia about 170g.
These things fly, no effort and accuacy is great. But deadly, take great care when you use them. Stating the obvious.
I sling on an old disused british gravel all weather football pitch so can find steelballs easily.
As I have said, x50 4oz missiles for about 50p each and a bit of time to paint, perfect.
Check out that wrought iron supplier, i think they are used to weld on to fence posts. Enjoy.
