From my experience with the 00 buck mold, it's kind of at the edge of viable hand-casting technology. The Littleton system goes to "drippers" with a ramp and a water bath. Better than a 100-foot-tall shot tower, but I've never used one. Something to think about for the day when lead shot is no longer available due to environmental legislation. :eek: |
lead shot is getting harder to come by...we all may have to start making our own... never tried a buckshot mould yet should be a learning experiance... charlie

I'm on the right path I have a solder pot for melting the lead and have found that the tire weights melt down pretty cleanly after removing the steel holder in the middle of the weight. I am searching for a set up for atleast to start out to mold 3 sizes of buck shot. I have read alot about the littleton shot dropper quite pricey but yes one day it may be my only option to getting shot

Seem's to me the 4 buck would penatrate at longer range if the pattern would stay together. In my younger days I skinned coyote with 2 under his skin.
|
Had some time ago the same thing happen to me 2 got him deep and there were three just under the skin. 5 out of 12 weren't bad i guess...
|
Didn't make my self clear I trapped coyotes with 2 and 4 shot under there skin. I found it after I shot them in head and was skinning them so they lived through the smaller shot I would use the 4 buck like you said he died from the buckshot. Just a thought I know you can kill a Grizz with a 22 but I say use enough gun.
