Craig,

I'd be glad to show you some or maybe you would be interested in all the buckshot for reloading purposes?

I plan to be at the Southern.

Bring some with you I’d atleast like to look at it ! I’ll bring a few 00 Hornady pellets and a couple of my cast 0000 and a pair of large channel locks to squeeze them in comparison . I wish I had a hardness gauge but I don’t . Still squeezing or checking hardness won’t tell us the alloy .
