On a related note, I decided to see if it was feasible to cast your own 00 buckshot. Had seen the molds and they seemed a bit questionable. While I wouldn't recommend it for somebody who is a total novice at bullet-casting, if you are patient and know what you are doing, it isn't so bad really. The main thing is to prepare the mold properly and then get it hot, hot, hot!

The casting was actually easier than chopping the 3-ganged pellets apart, which is a bit tedious (you use a box cutting knife or similar instrument).

They do make molds for smaller buckshot, but I don't have that kind of patience.
