    I make my own drippers out of aluminum bolts . I drill small holes with different small drill bits to get the desired size I want , very easy to do and you save a potload of money .

    Pro tips: make sure you have a way to control the heat on the burner.
    Use pure lead for best results.
    Alloys, like range scrap, are more "runny" so pellets come out smaller than expected and less spherical. Pure lead also maximizes the weight per pellet. Wet tumble for 4 to 6 days(doesn't have to be all at once, 1day X 4 to 6, 2days X 2 to 3, ect...). Rinse with cold water to reduce oxidation, spread on towel to dry for a couple of days. Tumble with about 2.5CC of graphite powder per about 9lbs, for about 6 to 9 hours. Load and make ready.

    When times get tough don't be bashful. You can use driveway gravel in a pinch. Just sayin'

    A little tip, go to your local Napa car car park store and get mail threaded. Cand Take a drill press and drill the size of shot you want. It will save you a lot of money.

    If you melt down lead use a wax toilet bowl ring to draw out impurities.

      You can also use a white candle or saw dust works really well also
