8 shot Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Considering the current energy issues will we see steel shot becoming none existent or at best very short supply and extremely expensive. I can't see the supply of steel for shot production being a priority for steel manufactures if they can even stay in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 It`s made in China ,so I doubt whether production would be constrained , as long as we don`t upset them too much ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China have recently slashed their over all steel production by 40% to help meet Beijing's pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 (the production of steel has an extremely high carbon footprint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udderlyoffroad Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 You haven’t seen the news then? China having something of an energy crisis too. Steel has long since been too expensive to manufacture in any quantity in the UK, save for some specialist alloys. Forget aluminium. Anyway; steel shot has long since been off-shored, if it was ever even made domestically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 shot Posted October 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Yesterday went to our local machinery dealer for some weaing metal for the plough and could only get less than a 1/3 of what we needed, none for the foreseable future. Just not enough steel for the major industries let alone small insignificant industries, If we think steel shot is the answer, then sadly we are barking up the wrong tree, there will just not be the steel for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
