3/8" ballbearings are sold as "slingshot ammo"

I agree with JSR - buy slingshot ammo/ball bearings instead... I used to have a lot of problems because of marbles - they aren't uniform so it was a real PITA to use them

Not to mention their sectional density being extremely poor...

You probably don't know how much they cost but 1 euro = 4 PLN

No amount of access to ammunition can compensate for being Polish, so I'm fine ;)

heh some of the sellers even claim they can make 'em in any calibre desired

if you're nice I might contact you with them - though I am not sure if they ship within EU

Even if they did it wouldn't help me, impossible to import anything ammunition shaped in epoxyland. Besides, I have a lathe and mill ;)
