It`s made in China ,so I doubt whether production would be constrained , as long as we don`t upset them too much .........

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)

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?

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
