      Yeah lead is still obtainable here. But I live in California where lead is banned for hunting and legislation is coming that bans it anywhere even for shooting ranges. So the future of reloading is uncertain unless you stockpile now

    in Vietnam we ban hunting sports, especially shotgun because it makes a lot of noise....however, we still set up small hunting groups every hunting season, the way I usually do it. through a roller to create a perfect sphere and use graphite to create a ball

    Thanks for doing this video. It hits almost all the right spots I’ve been looking for. Where do you get your sieves and what are the sizes of the screens I need to grade my shot effectively. I have an Oasis shot maker that’s a seven dripper unit with two sets of drippers (#4 and #7.5). The #7.5’s are double drippers so you can only imagine what kind of output you can get once everything is hot flowing.

    Hi, I tried my ladle today for the first time. Well below the temperature you recommend for shot making here in Ontario but I couldn't wait any longer...LOL
    I managed to make quite a bit of really good looking shot mixed with quite a bit of tear drop shaped stuff and some other globs. (All my fault, I was messing with temperature and really just playing).
    Im thinking of trying some sort of ramp to roll the shot down to help separate the tear drop stuff from the good stuff..Have you tried that?
    Im 100% impressed with what came out for my first run. Cant wait for some 20C days to run this properly.

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for letting me know, sounds like your doing great, if you have managed to make some good shot on your first try especially in cool conditions then your results are only going to get better. As for grading try using a large sheet of glass at a slight angle and reject the ones that dont roll.
      Many thanks again

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We use the latest micro drilling tech to produce very precise holes in our drippers which we sell.
      but as a general rule (0.036) = #5
      (0.032) =#6
      (0.024) = #7
      (0.020) = #7.5
      (0.018) = #8
      (0.016) = #9
      hope this helps

    Thanks for posting this video.
    I see the finished shot still contains a tiny bit out of round shot or some with a tail. Is this no problem in reloading and or shooting it? Have you thought about developing a way to sort shot (after size grading( into A and B shot based on roundness or am I overthinking it and is it a non issue?
    thx!

    • @leadfoot8593
      @leadfoot8593 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the most part it's a non-issue. if you wanted to get Super Duper about your shot, get a super flat smooth surface and handful at a time throw it on the surface the shot that rolls the farthest is the roundest so figure out a happy medium between the two areas, clear the shot, repeat

  • @halfdollar86

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The shot I make is more than comparable to factory, I've done a video comparing the two.
      As far as patterning is concerned clays and game kills are as good .

    Why not make all the screens like the big one so they all stack, then run all the shot through at once! then each size will be trapped in each screen so you don’t have to run the same shot over and over?
