Wayne,

Recently Paul Harm posted about the success which he and others have had with 3/4 ounce 12 gauge reloads. Reducing the shot weight per round is one method to reduce the cost of shooting.

Recycled shot may be a mixture of hard and soft shot. This shot may also be somewhat deformed by being compressed upon ignition when first fired. It theory recycled may produce patterns which are not as tight as would be produced by hard shot. I've read posts on this and other sites that many have found it breaks clay targets just as well as new shot.

I cannot imagine why recycled shot would not be suitable for hunting.

RST uses Cheddite hulls for 12 gauge and smaller. That should be enough said.

Keep reading and analyzing what you read. Even paid professional writers and researchers make mistakes in their facts and hypotheses. The average Joe on the Internet types without worry of such.
