I need to get some 1/2" and 5/8" steel balls. They don't have to be super high quality, but I do want them to be relatively inexpensive. I need to get 50-100 of them.
It is for a game that uses them, not exactly home improvement. Well, except for the joy of a game that finally works...

Wouldn't it be easier to wear a cup? :-)
This place has plain steel or stainless, and many other materials too:

Remember, it takes leather balls to play rugby.
If you don't get a source here, try on rec crafts metalworking (also a usenet group). Some very fine people there, who may help out. They would also maybe have some steel balls among them. Hope you have a lot of fun, playing with your 50 to 100 balls.
While I'm close to the subject. The old song "do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro" was originally colonial military song. It wasn't ears, it was musket balls.
Ya'll are falling down on the job....nobody said Superman

Thanks! I should have learned from IronBalls McGinty...
Thanks, great suggestion. I will do that.
Interesting piece of history, by the way...

Uhhh.... depending upon use (and country of origin) how about USMC, Royal Dutch Commandos or JTF2?
You have no idea how much I resisted posting the same sort of thing. Don't forget my Limey friends The SAS. My parents, brother and great uncle were US Army. Skinny brother was Green Beret. They weren't commandos.

After I pressed "send" I realized that all these fine folks have more than
1/2" - 5/8" "anatomical features" and I'm grateful that no-one sent "buddy" here to straighten me out :).
It's called "premature postification", *snicker*
