The issue in using reclaimed/recycled shot is two fold: relative shot size (remember this stuff is mostly mined from trap and skeet fields) and cleanliness. In other words, if the process happens to let a scrap of sand or other such material through the system and into the shot bag, you could get a scratched barrel. With today's shot cups that might be a small chance, but with an expensive classic double gun, it's not one I feel comfortable in taking.
